User reviews

"After traveling to many countries in Asia, I can confidently say that this beach is one of the most stunning places I have ever seen. The nightlife on weekends is truly remarkable and adds to the overall experience. Despite being alone on the beach, I felt secure enough to leave my belongings and swim in the deeper waters."

Sarika Sarkar

"This beach is absolutely beautiful with its golden sand and small size. It's also conveniently located near a hiking spot, making it a great place to stop for a break if you're exploring Ha Long Bay. Many people visit this beach as a transit stop during their cruise, but it's definitely worth spending some extra time here to enjoy the stunning scenery."
