Cua lo Beach - Vietnam Travel

Part of Nghe An Province’s cultural and tourism complex, Cua Lo Beach has for a long time been an ideal destination for long vacation in Vietnam travel Each year, the beach receives a large number of both domestic and foreign tourists.

We arrived in Cua Lo during the first days of July, the peak tourist season, so we saw many tourist cars going in and out of the area round the clock. During our stay in Cua Lo, a friend advised us to get up early to welcome the sunrise on the beach because it is the most beautiful moment with the harmony of sky and sea and we, who are always curious of and like to discover natural beauty, surely did not miss the chance. The scenery, indeed, fascinated all of us with the image of clusters of brilliantly red clouds around the red sun which was gradually rising from the immense sea. On the seashore, the locals were busy collecting and selling seafood – the fruits of their labour after a night of fishing on the sea.

When the sun was high, we left the beach and took an electric car to go along Binh Minh Avenue which is surrounded by a forest of casuarinas to Lan Chau Island. On the way, we saw many hotels, motels and amusement areas which mushroomed on the two sides of the avenue, making Cua Lo look like a seaside city.

We arrived on Lan Chau Island which is also called Ru Coc because it has the shape of a giant toad looking towards the sea. When the tide rises, the foot of the island is submerged in sea water while the tide goes out, the western part of the island emerges and connects the mainland and the eastern part is cliffs spreading to the sea. Standing on the top of the island, tourists can have a panoramic view of the immense sea and the town of Cua Lo.
