Not that far from Cát Bà town. We spent a whole afternoon here for sunbathing with stunning view. Loved our lazy time being on white sand and warm water of Gulf of Tonkin

We stopped here to both have lunch and to observe the fisherman who were pulling our lunch out of the water almost as we waited. We ate at a small restaurant, Ha Nam, with some picnic tables that overlooked the beach. Our guide told us that this beach, which has some older looking highrises on one side along with smaller store fronts, is very popular with Vietnamese families during the summer season. There was a line of open-sided picnic areas along the beach, but we were the only people eating there in January. We had a fantastic fresh squid stir fry with onions and pineapple and steamed shrimp with lime, pepper and salt for dipping. Very simple and very fresh. Later we walked along the beach area and watched the fisherman hauling in their nets, catch and the heavy bamboo coracles that they still use for fishing. A group of women were waiting/napping for the fisherman to come and sell their wares.
