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!

The most convenient way to reach Thinh Long beach is by renting a car with a skilled driver or by riding a motorbike. From Hanoi, take National Highway 1A, then switch to Highway 21 towards Nam Dinh, which is approximately 80 kilometers from the capital.
From Nam Dinh, cross the Do Quan bridge and continue straight for another 55 kilometers to arrive at the beach. Thinh Long beach makes for a pleasant day trip from Hanoi, although an overnight stay is advisable to fully enjoy the area.
