When to visit Sao Beach

The summer months between May to October, Sao Beach is much calmer since the winds have shifted to the western side of the island. This is the perfect time to swim at the beach. The winter months, from Late October to early May, the winds return making the sea have more waves, especially during mid-day. Kitesurfers will absolutely love to come to Sao Beach during this time.

You can rent a jet ski costs VND 450,000 for 10 minutes or one of these giant inflatable bananas that get pulled by a motor boat or try water skiing. 10 minutes on either costs VND 700,000. Some of the guesthouses and resorts rent out loungers, kayaks, sailboats, masks and snorkels.
