Wednesday, December 30 – We’ve decided there are two typical styles of beach town. The kind we visited on Langkawi earlier in December is a proper beach town. Little shops lining a small two-lane road with lots of little restaurants that back directly onto the beach. That’s the type of beach town we’ve grown accustomed to – the same type we visited in Costa Rica early in 2009.
The other type of beach town is more resort-based – with large high rise Sheratons and Novotels lining the main street. There are very few if any little restaurants on the beach itself. This is what Nha Trang was like. It’s closer to a city than a village. This is what we imaging Honalulu must be like.
To be perfectly honest, we prefer the beach village style better – it just seems homier – but Nha Trang has captured our hearts as well. It’s a really lovely place to relax on the beach, and while the small business might not be clustered quite so closely together, there are still lots of little shops and restaurants in which to drop a few bucks.
