VIDEO : The rhythm of life in the coastal fishing village of Sam Son
Nestled right in the heart of the bustling Sam Son beach resort area lies a small, simple, and peaceful fishing village. Even during the peak tourist season when Sam Son is crowded with visitors, in a small corner of the Sam Son coastline, the fishermen of this village still diligently work from night until dawn.
Amidst the rapid development of coastal tourism, Sam Son fishing village stands as a rare haven of tranquility, preserving the traditional lifestyle of its fishermen for generations.
Fishermen typically set sail at night, when the tide is favorable and the fish begin to move. They use various traditional methods such as trawling, casting nets, or fishing with a rod and line. This work requires not only physical strength but also experience, knowledge of the weather, and understanding of ocean currents.
Quiet and peaceful, the morning in the fishing village begins very early. As soon as the first rays of sunlight appear, the beach is already bustling with people calling out to each other, the sound of waves mingling with the hum of boat engines.
After a night at sea, the boats gradually return to shore, bringing with them all kinds of seafood such as fish, shrimp, squid, and crabs... This is the busiest time of day. Buyers and sellers crowd the beach, creating a colorful, impromptu "seafood market."
Meanwhile, on shore, some people were checking their boats after a hard night of fishing, while others were sorting the seafood. All of this created a vibrant, simple yet energetic picture of labor.
After a hard day's fishing, the women meticulously mend each mesh of the nets, preparing for the next fishing trip by the men of the family.
Behind the peaceful beauty lie hardships that not everyone understands. The fishing profession is inherently precarious and heavily dependent on the weather. Just one unexpected storm can cause fishermen to lose their entire fishing trip, or even face danger.
Nowadays, visiting the seafood market right on the beach in Sam Son offers tourists a very different experience. Without stalls, buying and selling is quick and friendly. Sellers can weigh the fish while chatting and recounting their nighttime fishing trips, creating a unique, intimate, and rustic atmosphere.
Seafood, freshly brought ashore, quickly reaches consumers, retaining its freshness – a feat not easily achieved everywhere.
This season, the Sam Son coastal seafood market is particularly abundant with a wide variety of seafood such as crabs, lobsters, mantis shrimp, prawns, herring, etc., offering tourists many attractive choices right from the first catches of the day.
The coastal fishing village of Sam Son is not just a tourist destination, but also a story about its people, their resilience, and their love for the sea. Amidst the changes of the times, the fishing village remains there, simple, rustic, yet full of life. And it is this very place that has contributed to making Sam Son not only beautiful in its scenery, but also rich in cultural depth and emotion.
