When to go
The beach-day index peaks in April and October–November; November scores 8.9/10 with highs of 25 °C, sea at 25.5 °C and 51 mm of rain.
In November that is 0.8 points above the median of the 66 beaches in Vietnam covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 0.9 °C warmer than the Vietnam median for August (28.9 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 25.4 °C, warmer than 77% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
August is the wettest month (338 mm) and February the driest (25 mm); the yearly total is about 1,650 mm.
Daylight runs from 10.9 hours in December to 13.4 hours in June; in mid-November the sun rises at 06:02 and sets at 17:12 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces east-south-east (123°). Open water fills about 47% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in October–February; in mid-December it goes down at 17:14 local time on a bearing of 245°.
Sunrise is over the sea in February–October.
The opposite shore is only about 500 m away to the east-south-east, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves.
The sea floor is still within the shallow coastal margin 1 km out; 3 km offshore the depth is about 2 m. Behind the beach the ground is about 2 m above sea level 500 m inland and 0 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 48% tree cover, 18% bare ground, sand or rock and 17% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 61% of that circle.
- Tree 48%
- Bare 18%
