Tra Co Beach is officially awarded as the most beautiful beach in Vietnam by the Vietnam Guinness Association. Located in the northeast of the country, bordered between Vietnam and China, Tra Co is in Quang Ninh province. This is the outer edge of a natural excavation affected by wave and coastal line. The beach is situated on Tra Co peninsula, Binh Ngoc, Tra Co, 350km from Hanoi; connected to Mong Cai center by Hung Vuong Street about 7km long.
Being a remote area and near industrial zones, the climate is so cool, quiet with white sand stretching in the calm blue water. Come here, you will see a typical fishing village with the casuarinas forest and long coastline. Still unspoiled, only a small part of the beach becomes resort and golf course; another is the beach for visitors and locals, the huge rest with white sand and rustling trees will attract those visitors who love the beauty & purity of nature.
Tra Co beach has gained the following records:
- The Vietnam Longest Beach:
With over 15km of coastline extending from Cape Sa Vi (Mui Got) to Ngoc Mountain (where the peninsula ends) forming an arc, Tra Co is one of the longest beaches in Southern Vietnam.
