Prayer Facilities

While finding prayer facilities at Back Beach will be impossible, Muslim visitors may be able to find a secluded spot on the beach to offer their prayers, if visiting during off season. Muslim tourists will also not be able to locate a mosque in the city of Vung Tau, so if unable to locate a clean and quiet place on the beach, they will have to return to their hotel rooms at prayer times.

Halal Food

The city of Vung Tau is not known to have any Halal certified restaurants, although there are a couple that serve some Halal dishes. The city is however renowned for its fresh seafood. While at Back Beach, Muslim tourists can therefore dine on seafood and vegetarian dishes at the local restaurant surrounding the attraction.
