There are roads designed to get you somewhere, and there are roads designed to make you feel something. Coastal DT702 Road in Ninh Thuan belongs to the latter. Stretching from Ca Na to Vinh Hy and ending near Binh Lap, this route has quietly become one of the most beautiful motorbike coastal roads in Vietnam. Not because it is perfect—but because it feels real.
Riders often describe it as a road where freedom becomes tangible. The sea is on one side, mountains on the other, and the sense of distance slowly disappears as wind and sunlight take over the journey.

Where Coastal DT702 Road Is Located

It highlights a rare scene in Vietnam: a coastal section where both the railway and the national road run along the sea, creating a cinematic view for anyone traveling by motorbike.
What Makes This Road Different
Coastal DT702 Road does not try to impress. It simply lets you observe—sometimes quietly, sometimes unexpectedly—how nature changes every few kilometers. Some of its most distinctive features include:
- Railway and road running parallel to the sea near Ca Na
- Nam Cuong white sand dune – a 700-hectare “mini desert”
- Sheep grazing beside the road around Mui Dinh
- Shrimp ponds near Son Hai village
- Thái An vineyard – where riders can taste grape juice at the farm
- Hang Rai in Nui Chua National Park – coral appears at low tide
- Vinh Hy Bay – described as “Ha Long Bay of central Vietnam”
- Binh Tien savanna-like landscape with dry hills and wandering sheep
These elements do not appear as tourist attractions. They simply emerge as parts of the road—one bend after another.
