Answer 1

Yes, Go to Mui Ne, a nice beach with many resort. You can also enjoy your time at the famous dunes. Don't forget your camera.

Other beaches near Saigon are Vung Tau ( have one one resort and many hotels ) and Long Hai ( two resorts only ).

Answer 2

There are beaches along the river but you don't really want to go there.  The best beaches that are relativly close are about 4 hours away by bus or car.  Mui Ne and Phan Thiet.  this is a great little town that is very clean and seems to have a lot of space.  The whole area is fresh and laidback with kind of an understated atmosphere.  Definitely your best bet for close to HCMC.  The beachs at Hoi an are wonderful and many people swear by Nha Trang.  take your pick.

Answer 3

or Phan Thiet ( bout 150km from HCM city. )
