Latest reviews on Haiphong's beaches

Cat Co 1 Beach
6 Eva Zoric

The beach surroundings are quite dirty with trash scattered all over the place. Personally, I would never consider swimming here. However, it can be enjoyable for a morning or evening stroll. The presence of the large hotel somewhat spoils the view.

Cat Co 2 Beach
2 L. K.

We had planned to spend a few days on Cat Ba to take in the stunning beaches we had seen on Google and in our Lonely Planet guide. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were greatly disappointed to find the beaches had been taken over by the large hotels. The beaches are now privately owned by the hotels, so if you're looking for a tranquil spot, this isn't the place for you.

Monkey Island beach
10 C. J. Merrick

The trip was amazing, but I should mention that the hike to the summit is quite risky. I wouldn't advise doing it in sandals, and it's essential to be physically fit beforehand since it's more or less like rock climbing. The monkeys were entertaining and playful, but it's important to be cautious as they can become aggressive.

Tung thu beach
10 Northern Explorer (NorthernExplorer)

This beach is a great spot to visit - it's clean and well-maintained. While entry is free, it seems that renting a beach chair will set you back around 80,000 dong. The swimming area is clearly marked with buoys, making it a safe place to take a dip. During peak season, it's likely that vendors will be selling snacks and refreshments.

Cat Co 3 Beach
10 Ren Hollister

This beach is truly one of the best. It is conveniently located next to a hotel, and the Rocky trail begins or ends right there. It's not overly crowded, which is a plus. However, please note that the chairs are not complimentary and cost 100k per chair.

Nam Cat beach
10 Alyssa Branson.

The beach features a stunning location with picturesque views, tranquil surroundings, and unspoiled natural beauty. It's definitely a must-visit spot for those seeking an authentic Ha Long Bay experience.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
