Coral gardens appear like from a fairy tale when the tide recedes in Con Dao

Ba Ria - Vung Tau - Only when the tide recedes, the Con Dao coral garden will reveal a coral reef with a quiet beauty that can be viewed without having to dive into the sea.

The northwest of Con Lon Island (Con Dao District, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province) is a wild, untouched area, although it is a great place to watch the sunset. When the tide recedes, jagged rocks are revealed. Photo: Truong Nguyen

A brilliant coral garden will appear among the rocks. "I followed the tide calendar to come here to take pictures. As far as I know, this image can only be seen on days when the tide is low," said Nguyen Truong (born in 1994). Photo: Truong Nguyen

The most prominent are the clusters of branch-shaped corals rising above the rocks when the tide is low. According to Mr. Truong, although it may not be as beautiful as the image when diving, the corals at low tide still have their own beauty. Photo: Truong Nguyen

In addition to giant clams, there are many small creatures that swoop among the coral clusters. Photo: Truong Nguyen

Corals interspersed on the rocky beach when the tide recedes. A representative of the Con Dao National Park Management Board said that the corals have just been bleached on a large scale due to the impact of El Nino in 2024. Currently, the corals in Con Dao are gradually recovering well. Photo: Truong Nguyen
