Travellers touring central cities such as Huế and Đà Nẵng should drop by Lăng Cô Beach, a destination renowned for its wonderful landscapes, long, white sand dunes and blue waters.

Located in Thừa Thiên-Huế Province’s Phú Lộc District, Lăng Cô Beach is some 30km from Đà Nẵng and 70km from Huế.

It is in close proximity to three of the country’s world heritage sites: the ancient citadel of Huế, the ancient town of Hội An, and Mỹ Sơn sanctuary.

Visitors can take a leisurely walk around Lăng Cô fishing village not far from the beach to witness the daily life of local fishermen.

They are also advised to try various kinds of seafood such as shrimp, lobster, crab, butter-fish, mackerel, and oysters.

Lăng Cô Beach, which is surrounded by mountains, tropical jungles and crystal clear waters, was recognised as one of the world’s 30 most beautiful bays in 2009 by the Club of the World’s Best Bays (Worldbays). — VNS
