Top 5 best scooter rentals in Dam Mon

Picture the road running out from the highway turnoff into pale sand dunes, then along an empty coastal track with the sea on one side and scrubland on the other — that's Dam Mon. There's no town centre to speak of and no queue of tour vans, just you, a scooter, and a string of beaches with names most visitors never learn: Bãi Xuân Đừng, Bãi Ông Hảo, the fishing hamlet at Khải Lương. Riders who make the trip out here are usually chasing one thing above all — sunrise at Mũi Đôi, the easternmost point on mainland Vietnam.

Dam Mon has one coastal road, patchy and unpaved in places, stretching over 12 km between the highway, the villages and the beaches, with almost no traffic to worry about. A car or a tour van can't easily manage the sandier stretches near the dunes, and there's no reason to want one anyway when the distances are short and the stops are frequent. A light scooter rental in Dam Mon is the natural way to hop between swimming spots, slow down for the sand, and stop wherever a beach or a view catches your eye.

Top 10 things to see in Dam Mon by scooter

1. Mũi Đôi (Cape Doi / Cực Đông) — the easternmost point of mainland Vietnam and the first place on the mainland to catch sunrise, the main reason riders push out to the tip of the peninsula.
2. Bãi Rạng — a wide, quiet beach roughly two-thirds of the way along the Mũi Đôi trek, used as an overnight camp stop before the final push to the cape at dawn.
3. Bãi Xuân Đừng — the cleanest and most-visited beach on the peninsula, with fresh water seeping up through the sand near the shoreline.
4. Bãi Ông Hảo — one of the few beaches you can ride to directly, calm and undeveloped with no facilities at all.
5. Bãi Ông Cố — another motorbike-accessible beach on the sheltered Van Phong Bay side of the peninsula.
6. Bãi Me (Bà Mè) — a secluded sandy cove along the coastal road, part of the small cluster of beaches locals point riders toward.
7. Đầm Môn sand dunes — white dunes right at the entrance to the peninsula that feel like a desert crossing, an easy detour before the coastal road even starts.
8. Chùa Thiên Ân — a modest hillside pagoda near Đầm Môn village with sea views, a quick cultural stop on the way in or out.
9. Khải Lương fishing village — a rugged rocky headland and working fishing hamlet showing the peninsula's slower, unpolished side.
10. Đầm Môn pier — departure point for boats to Whale Island and the return boat from the Mũi Đôi trek, a good place to end a ride and watch the fishing fleet come in.

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

For anything under 50cc — the standard tourist rental — no driving licence is required in Vietnam. Above that you'll need a motorcycle licence, and as a foreigner that means either a Vietnamese licence or a valid International Driving Permit issued under the 1968 convention (note: US, Japanese and several other IDPs follow the older 1949 Geneva format and won't be accepted). Shops generally set their own minimum age, usually 18. Expect to leave a deposit, either in cash or your passport held as security, with the amount varying by shop and bike.

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

Since Dam Mon itself has no rental shops, most riders rent in Nha Trang or Van Ninh town and ride out from there. A standard scooter runs roughly 120,000–160,000 VND per day in low season, rising to about 180,000–250,000 VND in high season. A newer automatic or a larger motorbike costs more, typically 250,000–350,000 VND per day.

• Prices peak from June to August and again around Tết (late January to February), when bikes are scarcest.
• September to November and April to May are the calmest, cheapest months to book.

When to book a rental scooter in Dam Mon?

High season runs November through April nationally, with a second summer peak from June to August and the sharpest spike of all around Tết, when many shops close and prices jump. If you'd rather skip the crowds and pay less, aim for September to November or April to May — the seas are calmer, demand is lower, and you won't need to book far ahead. If your trip lands in peak months, reserve a few days early so you're not stuck with whatever's left.

Local traffic rules in Dam Mon

Vietnam drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for both rider and passenger on any scooter or motorbike, and checks are routine. There's a zero blood-alcohol limit for riders, enforced with roadside breath tests, especially at night. Speed limits are lower in built-up areas than on the open road and are always signposted, so read the signs rather than assuming a number. After dark, keep your headlight on — it's required by law on this stretch of coast just as everywhere else in the country.
