Top 5 best scooter rentals in Dam Mon

If someday you will be in Dam Mon, Vietnam, do not think that your only options for getting around this quiet peninsula are walking and public transport — there is barely any public transport here at all. You can always rent a scooter in Dam Mon on our website and explore the wild edges of Van Phong Bay at your own pace. Dam Mon sits on a narrow, sparsely developed peninsula north of Nha Trang, ringed by empty white-sand beaches, fishing hamlets and low forested hills, and a scooter is by far the best way to reach the coves, viewpoints and back roads that a car or tour van simply cannot get to. A scooter is eco-friendly, cheap to run, and you will see far more of this untouched coastline than you would from a taxi window. On this page you will find a full guide to scooter rental in Dam Mon.

The area suits a scooter perfectly: roads are quiet, distances between beaches and villages are short, and much of the joy of Dam Mon is in wandering sandy tracks and coastal lanes that no bus will ever cover. On a scooter you can watch the sunrise over Bai Mon — mainland Vietnam’s easternmost point — ride out to the dunes and hidden coves of Hon Gom, or spend an afternoon hopping between the calm, shallow waters of Doc Let Beach.

Top 10 things to see in Dam Mon by scooter

1. Bai Mon Beach & Dai Lanh Lighthouse — mainland Vietnam’s easternmost point, with a short trail up to the lighthouse for a sweeping view of the bay.
2. Doc Let Beach — a long, gently sloping beach with calm, shallow turquoise water, ideal for swimming and an easy scooter ride along the coast.
3. Hon Gom Peninsula — wild dunes, pine groves and empty coves along the narrow spit of land that shelters Van Phong Bay.
4. Van Phong Bay viewpoints — the winding coastal road offers repeated views over one of Vietnam’s largest and least developed bays.
5. Whale Island (Hon Ong) boat crossing point — ride to the small pier used for boat trips out to Whale Island for snorkelling.
6. Dam Mon fishing village — a working village of stilted houses and fishing boats, a glimpse of everyday coastal life.
7. Turtle Bay (Vinh Hy-style coves) — small hidden coves along the peninsula’s tip, quiet enough for a private swim.
8. Sand dunes near Hon Gom — low golden dunes that make for a striking short detour and photo stop.
9. Local seafood villages along Highway 1 — roadside stalls and family restaurants serving the morning’s catch.
10. Nha Trang Bay lookout on the road south — ride south toward Nha Trang for hillside views back over the bay before returning.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Dam Mon?

Required documents vary between rental companies, but common rules are as follows: you should be at least 18 years old; for a 125cc machine an A1 licence is usually expected, while larger scooters call for a full A-class motorcycle licence. Foreign visitors should carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) together with their home licence — strictly, a Vietnamese-recognised motorcycle licence is required to ride legally, so check the terms of the specific provider on the booking page. Most companies also ask for a deposit, paid in cash or by card and refunded when you return the scooter in good condition. Since Dam Mon is remote, it is worth setting off with a full tank, as fuel stations are spaced further apart than in the cities.

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Dam Mon?

Scooter rental in Dam Mon starts from around 130,000 VND per day and runs up to about 300,000 VND per day for a larger, newer automatic model. What you pay depends mainly on the engine size and condition of the scooter, and on the time of year. Prices in this part of Khanh Hoa province follow a seasonal pattern:

• January–August (dry, high season) — sunny, calm-sea months that draw the most beach visitors: expect roughly 180,000–300,000 VND per day.
• September–October (shoulder season) — a quieter transition period with prices around 150,000–220,000 VND per day.
• November–December (rainy, low season) — the wettest and cheapest months, from about 130,000 VND per day, though rough seas can limit boat trips.

In short, you will pay the most from spring through late summer when the coast is at its calmest and sunniest, and the least toward the end of the year as the rains and rougher seas set in. Since this area is far quieter than the big resort towns, prices move less sharply than elsewhere, but it is still worth booking a few days ahead around major Vietnamese holidays.

When to book a rental scooter in Dam Mon?

The dry season, from roughly January to August, brings the calmest seas, the clearest skies and the best conditions for both riding and swimming, making it the busiest and priciest stretch of the year. September and October are a quieter shoulder period with a chance of showers. November and December mark the rainy, low season, with stronger winds and rougher water that can affect boat trips to nearby islands, though the peninsula itself is still ridable between showers. If you want calm seas and sunshine, aim for the dry season; if you prefer solitude and lower prices, the last two months of the year are your best bet.

Local traffic rules

In Vietnam you ride on the right-hand side of the road. A helmet is compulsory for both rider and passenger, and the police do enforce it, including on the quieter coastal roads. Speed limits in built-up areas are typically 40–50 km/h, rising on the open highway sections that link the peninsula to Highway 1. There is effectively zero tolerance for drink-driving. Roads around Dam Mon are mostly quiet, but watch for loose sand on unpaved tracks near the dunes and beaches, and for livestock and fishing gear left to dry along village roads. Ride defensively, keep your lights on, and carry water and fuel, since services are spread thin along this stretch of coast.
