Every year we make an appointment to go to Ninh Chu.
On a mid-October morning at Ninh Chu beach, the tide was rising. A cool breeze blew gently. Taking a deep breath, Jeffrey and his group of tourists from Australia seemed to let go of all the fatigue and stress after the long flight.
“Whoever comes to Ninh Thuan, come visit the bountiful Ninh Chu/ The fragrant wind sings passionately to the waves", a Saigon girl named Le Kim Duy (Jeffrey's wife) sang as soon as she arrived in Ninh Chu.
From Australia, Jeffrey and Duy return to Ninh Chu to kitesurf every October. “We surveyed many places from Vung Tau, Mui Ne, to Cam Ranh and decided to choose Ninh Chu as a regular destination for kitesurfing. Ninh Chu sea is peaceful, clean, with strong and stable winds. Every year, kitesurfing enthusiasts like us make an appointment to come here to surf, freely somersaulting in the air with colorful kites,” Jeffrey confided.

The dry climate is similar to the Aegean region (Greece), making Ninh Chu increasingly becoming a favorite destination for wind sports players such as kite surfing from all over the world.

Every year around October, November and December, kite surfing enthusiasts from all over the world gather here to enjoy the feeling of flying over the sea with the waves and wind. Ninh Chu beach is windy so it has long been known as an ideal experience for kite surfing enthusiasts.
International destinations
10 years ago, foreigners who loved adventure and experiencing new lands traveled by motorbike from Mui Ne (Binh Thuan)To the North, along the coast to Phan Rang city (Ninh Thuan). Passing through white salt fields, vineyards laden with fruit on a narrow winding one-lane road with small hamlets and fishing villages, they found Ninh Chu beach. Here, the wind from the ocean blows strongly and continuously.
In 2014, the coastal road was expanded beautifully, helping foreign tourists to freely reach Ninh Chu beach from Phan Rang city.

Lee Hwa, a young girl from Korea, was one of the first people to know Ninh Chu Bay as a windy paradise with a beautiful crescent-shaped beach. Her group of 10 kite surfing enthusiasts stayed at Ninh Chu Beach for about a month. According to Lee, the waves in Ninh Chu Bay are small, the beach is shallow and gentle, combined with strong winds, making it very suitable for practicing new techniques.
Every day, witnessing foreign tourists kite surfing with his own eyes, Lai Hoang Phi also tried and “fell in love” with kite surfing from the first time he set foot on a board. He loves the sport that combines waves and wind and decided to start a business with kite surfing to satisfy his passion.
Introduced by foreign tourists, in 2014, Phi went to My Hoa beach (Ninh Chu) to try the "specialty" of wind here. Ninh Chu beach fascinated Phi. He mentally calculated the wind in knots. Wind of 25-30 knots (a unit of speed measurement, equivalent to one nautical mile per hour) per hour is ideal for kite flying. In Ninh Chu, there are many hours of ideal wind during the day, many days in the month. The wind combined with waves is not too strong, usually calm and steady, sunny days, very suitable for kite surfing here.
After opening a kite surfing facility at My Hoa beach, Phi and his family members took guests of all nationalities from Phan Thiet to Ninh Chu to indulge their passion for kite surfing in the blue sea and white sand. During peak season, hundreds of tourists travel every day to experience this sport at Phi's facility.
As the destination becomes more and more popular, the number of tourists coming here doubles every year. The reputation of Ninh Chu beach also spreads more and more when in February 2016, the largest professional kite surfing competition in Asia was held here. A series of images and videos about kite surfing in Ninh Chu were published in domestic and international media. The Kiteboarder Magazine voted Ninh Thuan as the top international destination in Vietnam for kite surfing.

The Chong, Tan An, and Ca Du mountains, with large and small rocks stacked together, form a beautiful and harmonious natural complex.
The wind farm in Phan Rang – Thap Cham adjacent to Ninh Chu with its picturesque scenery attracts many young tourists to visit and take photos. The vineyard, sheep fields or sand dunes are must-see destinations for tourists on their journey to experience Ninh Thuan – a new destination in Asia.
