Cát Cò 1 — Cát Bà
A sandy bay on southern Cát Bà, close to town. Cát Cò 1, 2 and 3 are separate beach coves; this pin refers to Cát Cò 1. Hotels and tourist services are nearby.
Getting there
First reach Cát Bà, then travel from town to the beach area. Local authorities adjust traffic on the access road, so check the current arrangement and walk the final section where required.
Swimming & sea
Stay within the permitted beach area and assess crowding, tide and waves. Swimming conditions differ from boat-trip conditions in the adjacent bay.
Facilities & atmosphere
Town and resort services nearby; ask separately which beach facilities day visitors may use.
When to go?
April, May and October are an editorial selection for beach visits. Winter can be cool; storms in the warmer wet season can disrupt boats. Hanoi is only a regional climate reference.

Hạ Long Bay
A small beach cove on Ti Tốp island, with a viewpoint higher up the rock. Its position among limestone islands makes it a familiar bay-cruise stop; the beach cannot be reached overland.
Thuận An
Coast near Huế
A beach excursion from Huế, with fishing life and seafood nearby. The coast lies beside the Tam Giang lagoon system and sea entrance; choose a beach area rather than the inlet itself.
Lăng Cô
Between Huế and Đà Nẵng
A long sandy coast beside the narrow strip between the sea and Lập An lagoon. Lăng Cô fits naturally into a route over the Hải Vân Pass, but the lagoon is a different environment from the ocean shore.
