  • For a long time Vietnam has been famous for its dreamy beaches with wild and pristine features. Each beach has its own unique features which attract visitors' hearts. From the North to the South there are countless magnificent beaches thanks to the special geographic location of Vietnam, but right now we would like to introduce to you the top 10 most beautiful beaches in Vietnam.

    Quan Lan Beach
    Lang Co beach of Hue
    Ha My Beach of Hoi An
    My Khe Beach of Da Nang
    Quy Nhon Beach
    Nha Trang Beach
    Mui Ne Beach
    Con Dao Beach
    Dai Beach of Phu Quoc
    Ho Coc Beach

    It's rare for any place to compete with the beauty Ha Long Bay, but Quan Lan comes close. Quan Lan Island is an indispensable part of Bai Tu Long Bay famous for its special beaches in the East, the most famous of which is the beach of the same name.

    It is a pristine landscape with emerald coloured water and beautiful white sand stretching to the horizon. It is undoubtedly the most beautiful and clean beach in the North. This will be a dream come true for tourists who love pure and fresh nature.

    What to visit? Nearby beaches Minh Chau and Son Hao are equally attractive and also on Quan Lan Island you can visit the Quan Lan Temple and Minh Chau Tram forest.

    When to go? Between April and September.

    Favoured by nature, the central part of Vietnam is the home for beautiful seaside resorts including Lang Co beach. It is an ideal place to enjoy the peacefulness along a curve of white sand stretching nearly 10km surrounded by mountains and primeval forest. This gem is embellished with beautiful dunes and lush palm trees. You can also find a charming fishing village which remains untouched. 

    To get there you have to cross over the Hai Van Pass or Cloud Pass as some call it. It is one of the twistiest roads in the country and will give you a breath-taking view of the entire bay. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the thrill of going down the pass combined with enjoying the peaceful nature views.
