Top 5 best motorcycle rentals in Dam Mon

Van Phong Bay unfolds slowly, and the best way to meet it is on two wheels. Rent a motorbike in Dam Mon and the empty coastal road along the peninsula becomes yours — past fishing boats bobbing near the village jetty, up to the lighthouse at Mui Dien, down to the quiet cove of Bai Mon Beach. There's no bus route out here, no queue of tour vans. Just you, the wind, and a coastline most visitors never see.

Dam Mon is spread thin across a peninsula, with sights sitting anywhere from 5 to 70 kilometres apart, connected by roads with barely any traffic and no public transport to speak of. Walking won't get you far, and taxis aren't built for a day of beach-hopping and viewpoint-chasing. A standard automatic scooter, though, handles the mostly paved routes with ease, letting you string together a lighthouse, a boat jetty and a bay lookout before lunch. This is exactly the kind of place a scooter rental in Dam Mon was made for.

Top 10 things to see in Dam Mon by scooter

1. Mui Dien (Dai Lanh Lighthouse) — the easternmost point of mainland Vietnam, a paved climb rewarded with panoramic coastal views.
2. Bai Mon Beach — a quiet cove tucked below the lighthouse, the natural pairing for the same ride.
3. Dam Mon Peninsula coastal road — the signature route of the area, winding and largely empty along Van Phong Bay.
4. Whale Island (Hon Ong) boat jetty — ride to the departure point, then hop a boat over for snorkeling and beach time.
5. Van Phong Bay viewpoints — sweeping views over one of Vietnam's largest natural harbors, best at sunset.
6. Doc Let Beach — a long stretch of white sand further south, a popular half-day destination.
7. Hon Gom Peninsula — a narrow sand-dune spit with undeveloped beaches on either side.
8. Ba Ho Waterfall — a three-tiered waterfall and swimming hole on the way back toward Nha Trang.
9. Dam Mon fishing village — a working harbor that shows you local life beyond the resorts.
10. Nha Trang city — the nearest major city, roughly 60–70km south, for a longer day loop.

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

For a standard scooter under 50cc — the usual tourist rental — no driving licence is required in Vietnam. Go above 50cc and you'll need a motorcycle licence, plus a valid International Driving Permit endorsed for motorcycles if you're a foreign visitor. Rental shops generally set their own minimum age, typically 18, and will ask for a deposit; amounts vary by shop and bike, sometimes paid in cash, sometimes by holding your passport.

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

Average rental price for a standard automatic scooter is 120,000–150,000 VND per day in low season and 180,000–250,000 VND per day in high season. Larger, newer or semi-automatic models run 250,000–350,000 VND per day.

• Prices climb around December–March, peak dry season and the Tết holiday period.
• Prices ease off April–June and September–October, the shoulder months before or after the wettest weather.

When to book a rental scooter in Dam Mon?

High season runs roughly November to April, with Tết (Lunar New Year, late January to mid-February, dates shift yearly) as the sharpest spike — bikes get scarce and prices rise, so book a few days ahead if you're travelling then. Low season falls in the hotter, wetter stretch of May to September, when scooters are easier to find and cheaper by the day. If you want the calmest weather and the widest choice, February to April is a solid window.

Local traffic rules in Dam Mon

Vietnam drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for rider and passenger alike, and checks are routine. There's a zero blood-alcohol limit — any detectable alcohol counts as an offence, and roadside checkpoints do turn up, especially at night. Speed limits depend on the road and whether you're in a built-up area, so read the signs rather than guessing. Headlights are required after dark, and scooters can't use expressways or certain bridges and tunnels, so stick to the coastal roads — which, around here, are the scenic choice anyway.
