Bicycles
A bicycle is the easiest and safest way to get around. Most hotels lend or rent one for a dollar or two a day. The town and the surrounding paddies are flat, so you can pedal to the beach or the countryside without effort.
Scooters
Scooters cost around $5 to $8 a day and open up the wider area, but only ride one if you have the right licence and experience, as the main roads are busy and insurance often will not cover unlicensed riders. Wear the helmet and go slow.
Best routes
The classic ride is the flat loop out to An Bang beach through the rice paddies, about 15 minutes each way. For the back lanes and villages with a guide, a morning bike tour from $30 is the relaxed option. Park outside the pedestrian old town and walk in.

Yes. The area is flat and the rides to An Bang beach and the surrounding rice paddies are short and scenic. The old town itself is best on foot, as parts are pedestrianised.
Legally you need a valid licence that covers motorbikes, and your travel insurance may not cover you without one. Many travelers stick to bicycles to avoid the risk and the busy main roads.
