The Cam Lam District People's Committee said that the oil has been found at the beach since March 19.
"We have sent environmental teams to collect the oil which was mixed with sand," the committee said. "Some nearby hotels and resorts have also sent staff members to clean the beach. The cleaning work has taken us lots of time due to the large amount of oil.
The same black oil was also found in thick layers on a 3-kilometre beach near Tran Phu Street and some other beaches in Hon Mun Marine Protected Area in Nha Trang City between March 15-17.
Head of the Nha Trang Bay Management Board, Huynh Binh Thai, said that they had sent divers to the sea to find where the oil came from but there was no trace. There has been no oil spill or boat sinkings reported in the area.
