Located at Northeastern most point of Vietnam nearly 300 km from Hanoi, Tra Co in Quang Ninh Province is one of the country’s most charming beaches.
Tra Co Beach can be reached by boat from Haiphong or Hong Gai, by minibus from Hong Gai, and by motorcycle from Mong Cai. It is easy to reach Tra Co Beach from Mong Cai because of the road linking the land to the island.
The name “Tra Co” is the combination of two villages – Tra Phuong and Co Trai in Do Son (Hai Phong), where migrants came to settle nearly 600 years ago. Tra Co Island was once 100 metres from the mainland. In 1952 the French built a small rock path connecting the two sides and in 1954 the local authorities upgraded it into a road, which has remained the main link between the island and the mainland ever since.
Tra Co Beach is widely known as the first beach on the country’s map, the longest beach (17km) in the country, and Vietnam's most pristine and romantic beach with its wide stretches of smooth white sand and deep blue sea all the year round.
Tra Co’s beauty is due to many natural features such as Con Mang (Mang Islet), as well as historical and cultural monuments such as the Tra Co Communal House, Linh Khanh and Xuan Lan Pagodas, and Tra Co Catholic Church.
Next to Tra Co Beach is the beautiful Con Mang sand – band, about 5 km from Mong Cai. The sand here is smooth and firm and you can easily ride a motorbike on it without being afraid of sinking or slipping. You can also enjoy the beautiful view at sunrise or sunset.
