When visiting Co To Island District, many tourists are unsure whether to visit Van Chay Beach or Hong Van Beach. Since these two places are not far apart, why not explore and swim at both locations?

Especially being located at the very end of the island, along the way to Van Chay Beach, tourists can admire many untouched and beautiful scenes of Co To. Visitors will directly immerse themselves in the poetic and extremely charming natural scenery.

3. Vung Tien Beach

Cau My Rock Beach is located in the southern part of Co To Island, approximately 9km from Hong Van Beach and about 3km from Co To Town.

Also known as Dragon Claw Rock Beach, due to its rock formations resembling a dragon's claw, Cau My Rock Beach is the most beautiful rock beach on the island. Its layered rock formations stack up layer by layer, each rock having a unique shape.
