'''Mũi Né''' is a [[seaside resort|coastal fishing ward]] in the [[Lâm Đồng Province]] of [[Vietnam]]. The ward has approximately 25,000 residents. Mui Ne and the other wards of Phan Thiet stretch along the coast for approximately 50 kilometers and have been transformed into a resort destination since the mid-1990s, when many visited the area to view the [[solar eclipse of October 24, 1995]].
Mũi Né ward has two beaches; Ganh Beach and Suoi Nuoc Beach, both with a number of resorts and a few shops and restaurants. But the most highly developed area is Rang Beach in Ham Tien ward (often erroneously called "Mui Ne Beach" by foreigners), which extends west of Mui Ne.
The tourist season is from December to April. The average temperature is 27 °C, and the climate is hot and dry much of the year.

== Culture ==
=== Cuisine === Mui Ne is famous for seafood. Sand dunes are inhabited by the [[Leiolepis|butterfly lizard]], called nhông cát in Vietnamese. Local people cook lizard in seven ways: grilled, steamed, fried, roasted, raw, served in porridge, iguana pie, and served alongside vegetables. Therefore, the local people call this the seven dishes from iguana.
== Beaches == * Mui Ne Beach: The main stretch of coastline. * Ham Tien Beach: A quieter beach with beachfront resorts. * Hon Rom Beach: A secluded beach.
