Abstract: 
One of the coastal resources in the coastal zone that provide ecosystem services for the coastal cities are the public spaces located along the coastlines. Those spaces are one of elements marking the difference of those cities and towns. They are arranged in harmony and taking advantage of the available natural elements in order to develop the tourism industry. It is also plays a particular role in the life of local citizen as a place for gathering, resting and organizing activities. Nha Trang is a coastal city located in the central coast of Vietnam and was chosen as the case study of this research. At present, it is facing many problems related to the use of coastal public space. After presenting some literature review, processing and displaying the data which was collected from a survey of more than 50 visitors, the author found that Nha Trang coastal public spaces have natural features that affect the usage. Those features are clarified through the five elements of Kevin Lynch which form the urban image, including: path, edge, district, node and landmarks. Main objects using these spaces are also identified in terms of necessary and optional activities. Moreover, the study also assessed the quality of coastal public space in Nha Trang. Although the spaces here are well appreciated by gathering the opinions visitors by questionnaire, the area still has some problems related to use, such as: the security, the design, ineffective and incompatible of public space, privatization phenomenon and so many things. From those findings, designers, architects or planners can find out some solutions to develop and create more effective public spaces for coastal cities, especially in Vietnam.
