Thanh Lan Island, Co To District, Quang Ninh Province ( Video : Heritage)
The Co To archipelago comprises approximately 50 islands of varying sizes, belonging to Quang Ninh province, with Co To Lon island boasting numerous beautiful beaches and impressive tourist attractions.
After about an hour and a half by speedboat from Van Don port, visitors will arrive at Co To island district and immediately feel the peace from the expansive sea and the friendly hospitality of the islanders.
With few modern resorts and not many hotels, the beautiful beaches of Co To are the island's most precious asset.
These beaches still retain their pristine, unspoiled appearance, with pure white sand and, not far above the shore, primeval forests with rich vegetation.
The famous beautiful beaches in Co To are often located a few kilometers from the town center. Hong Van Beach, located on the east side of the island, 5km from the town, has a gently sloping beach and calm, tranquil waters, making it ideal and safe for swimming.
Not only is Hong Van captivating with its unspoiled beauty, but it is also a charming natural landscape with gentle colors.
The turquoise blue of the sea, the pristine white of the sand, and the lush green of the centuries-old primeval forest beside the beach. Van Chay Beach, though a bit far from the city center (11km away), remains the most popular spot for tourists to stroll and swim. The curving coastline is embraced by soft, smooth sand.
The water is crystal clear, allowing you to see even the small fish swimming around. Unlike Hong Van, the waves at Van Chay are big, perfect for young people who enjoy the thrill of jumping in the waves and playing on the beach. It's also an ideal place for groups of friends to pitch tents, light bonfires, and experience the mysterious beauty of the sea at night.
Besides the beautiful beaches, visitors to Co To should not miss other attractive tourist destinations. It would be most wonderful to admire the panoramic view of Co To from above. Located about 4km from the town, the Co To lighthouse sits atop a mountain 101m high. Climbing 72 steps to the highest point, you can stand and admire the majestic and romantic seascape of the island.
