Cua Lo Beach is in the central northern coast of Vietnam and boasts one of the nicest beaches in the country. The water is crystal clear, the fine sand stretches for six miles and it is backed by dense pine forests.
A short boat ride from the beach, visitors will find three islands called Hon Ngu, Hon Chu and Hon Mat. These undeveloped islands with their primordial scenery are what attract people to the area. Off the beach you can also dive and snorkel and see the wonders this fertile sea has to offer.
There are a few historical sites to visit in Cua Lo, including the communes that house old religious buildings like temples and pagodas. The seafood restaurants that line the beachfront serve fresh catches and tasty dishes. This beach is very popular with men as when the sun sets, the many karaoke bars with young girls working in them come to life and dominate the landscape.
