Thinh Long Beach

Thing Long is a new beach in Hai Hau, Nam Dinh that has only recently become popular.

Location

The beach stretches for 3 kilometers, featuring soft sandbanks and a lush Casuarina forest that frames an inlet of sparkling blue ocean.

An Untouched Beach

The scenery at Thinh Long beach remains unrivaled compared to other beaches along the northern coast of Vietnam, thanks to its pristine beauty and clean waters. Thinh Long is fortunate to be shielded from the notorious hot winds coming from Laos. As a result, the weather enjoys a cooler climate, complemented by a light and refreshing breeze that provides relief from the sun's heat. The beach features gentle, yet substantial waves, making it an ideal spot for beginner surfers. For those looking for more activity beyond sunbathing, canoe rentals are available, allowing visitors to paddle along the shoreline and explore nearby rock islands. At either end of the beach, professional fishing villages warmly welcome guests to experience their unique way of life. Be sure to indulge in local specialties, as this region boasts an incredible variety of fresh and delicious seafood!
