This 10km-long beach is celebrated for its fine white sand and crystal-clear waters, framed by a stunning backdrop of pine forests and coconut trees along the shore.
Visitor Information
Cua Lo is also known for its beautiful surrounding islands. Just a short distance from the coast, visitors can explore three idyllic islands: Hon Ngu, Hon Chu, and Hon Mat. To the north lies Lan Chau Island, while to the southeast is Song Ngu Island. These islands not only offer breathtaking views but also act as a natural barrier, protecting Cua Lo Beach from storms and strong ocean winds. Accessing these islands is easy, with rental boats available from operators at the beach, typically taking only a few minutes to reach.
