Check-in Ba Dong beach with green poplar trees in Tra Vinh

Ba Dong Beach is located in Truong Long Hoa Commune, Duyen Hai Town, Tra Vinh Province, about 55 km southeast of Tra Vinh City. The beach is located between two estuaries Cung Hau (Tien River) and Dinh An (Hau River), facing the East Sea.

Ba Dong Beach is surrounded by tall casuarina trees and is a rare place with a sandy beach stretching over 10 km in the West.

"Rare goods" in the Southwest region

Ba Dong Sea is special because it is the East Sea along the coast of the Mekong Delta provinces. This is an alluvial area, with many large and small river mouths, so most of it consists of mud flats and the water is not clear. In particular, Ba Dong Sea is a rare area in the Southwest region that is generously endowed by nature with a sandbank of more than 10 km long from Nha Mat Hamlet to Con Trung Hamlet.

Also because it is located in the alluvial sea area, the sand at Ba Dong beach is not pure white or golden yellow. The water at Ba Dong beach cannot be as clear as the beaches at Nha Trang or Vung Tau. However, if only counting along the East coast from Go Cong to Ca Mau , Ba Dong has beautiful sand beaches and quite clear sea water. Especially in the months after Tet, the waves are calm and the sea is calm, making it suitable for swimming, which many people love.

Watching the tide at Ba Dong beach.

Most visitors to Ba Dong beach will prefer to… watch rather than swim. Ba Dong beach will not disappoint you when you can bring back many “cool” check-in photos.

The name itself arouses curiosity and exploration . According to the people living here, the beach is called Ba Dong because every time the tide rises and falls, three sand dunes (two small and one large) with unique shapes will appear on the beach. Many people sit and watch the tide to find those three sand dunes. It is unclear whether anyone can see the specific shape after many years of erosion, but not everyone can experience peaceful moments watching the tide in the hustle and bustle of life.

Ba Dong beach has not been exploited much for tourism, the water is not polluted, swimming here is quite safe. The most attractive thing is the rows of green trees stretching along the coast, creating a peaceful feeling.

Not far from Ba Dong beach are equally interesting places to visit, such as the mangrove forest next door or the Ba Dong wind power project about 1km away. The wind power project with the image of a prominent golden bridge and 12 wind turbines, is an extremely cool "virtual living background" for visitors from near and far. Every morning at dawn or when the afternoon sunset falls, from Ba Dong beach, we can admire the beauty of the 4km long bridge, casting the shadow of giant fan blades down to the vast coastline.

From Ba Dong, tourists can visit many other famous places such as Cung Hau seaport (bordering Tien Giang), Dinh An port (bordering Soc Trang) and admire the ancient architectural beauty of some churches built during the French colonial period, such as Giong Rum church and Phuoc Hao church.

Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the history and cultural depth of the coastal areas of Truong Long Hoa, Duyen Hai, Tra Vinh and enjoy the typical products of famous traditional craft villages such as Dong Cao Seabed Village, Con Cu Salt Village, and Ba Dong Watermelon Village.
