Occasionally, at Nha Cu beach, when the low tide gets on, each colorful coral reef will be exposed under the sun which is easily for you to contemplate, touch and enjoy.
Indulge yourself on fresh beaches
If you are looking for a place away from the noisy environment and overcrowded areas, Binh Ba Island is the best place to spend your time. Historically speaking, it was a military island, which had restrictions on people outside entering this island. So, it was not that famous previously.

You need not even worry about camping if you visit this place.
