Numerous resorts have popped up along the beach, and there are many local restaurants nearby. You can easily find somewhere to stay and enjoy the local foods.
Oc Tu Van Pagoda
This pagoda, built in 1968, is located in the center of Cam Ranh. Oc Tu Van Pagoda means Seashell Pagoda. It got its name because the monks who live there collected seashells and bits of coral on the beach, then decorated every free space on the walls and ceilings with them. The impressive mosaic can be viewed by the public, as well as the Bao Tich tower, which is behind the pagoda. The tower is 39 meters high and was built by the monks over five years. It was completed in 1995.
