Mui Ne draws numerous visitors for not only its stunning beaches and immense sand dunes, but also the Fairy stream.
The stream originates from groundwater flows under the sand dunes which stretch from provincial road 706. Since the time that Phan Thiet was not yet developed for tourism and Mui Ne was still a fishing village, people in Binh Thuan used the stream as a destination for their weekend outings and holidays. The stream now is known to visitors around the world for its natural construction between sand and water.
The water level is about ankle-deep and no more than knee-deep even at the deepest place. Most tourists are encouraged to take off their shoes or slippers to walk barefoot and follow the creek-bed. Walking upstream from the sea about 200-300m, a dreamlike scene appears in front of your eyes.
