This was the place of my childhood. The beach is not as pretty as some of the other places around the country. Known for fresh seafood, as there are several fishing communities along the water. This was where the old brass, I believe even in colonial time, used to have their vacation homes here. I have not been back, but would imagine that even with growth, it's not as touristy as some of the other beach places in Viet Nam, such as Nha Trang. This brings back many fond memories for me. Hope you'll enjoy Vung Tau for what it is.
