This section covers the littoral provinces of Binh Thuan, Ninh Thuan, Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen, Binh Dinh and Quang Ngai. The cities, towns, beaches and historical sites in this region, most of which are along National Highway I, referred to by many foreign tourists as the 'Ho Chi Minh Trail' (the real one is actually farther inland), are listed from north to south.

The southernmost province, Binh Thuan, is one of the most arid regions of Vietnam (particularly north of Phan Thiet). The nearby plains, dominated by rocky, roundish mountains, support some marginal irrigated rice agriculture. Some of Vietnam's most beautiful beaches arc scattered out along the coast, and there are many ruins of Cham culture.
