Characteristics of Khai Long Beach
Cà Mau, a region exposed to salinity and iron contamination year-round, creates an ideal environment for the distinctive mangrove forest system. Notable examples include the U Minh Hạ mangrove forest and the Cà Mau mangrove forest, covering vast areas along the coastal belt of mainland Cà Mau.
This characteristic sets Khai Long Beach apart. It is not just a beach but also a rich mangrove forest ecosystem.

Khai Long Beach is located on the East Sea within the mangrove forest ecosystem. To set foot here, travelers must take a canoe or boat journey lasting approximately one hour, starting from Cà Mau City.

Khai Long Beach in Cà Mau features a relatively flat, golden sandy beach with moderate wave intensity. These favorable conditions contribute to the development of beach tourism at Khai Long Beach.

Additionally, another fascinating aspect of Khai Long that cannot be overlooked is the phenomenon of coastal inundation. Every day, the expansive sandy beach is continuously replenished by sediment, creating fine sand. On average, the coastline advances by about 50–80 meters each year.
It can be said that Khai Long is an independent beach where there is only forest, sea, and blue sky, and it is also the only beach in Cà Mau with fine sand. Therefore, the beauty of Khai Long is the harmonious integration of nature, close and simple.

When visiting the beach, of course, swimming is a must, but at Khai Long, travelers can explore many other interesting activities. Due to its rich mangrove ecosystem and vast nature, you can catch shrimp, search for seashells in the exposed areas when the tide is low, or explore the remaining rocky areas during low tide for crab and fish.
Then, if you wish, you can paddle through the bamboo forest and try transforming into a fisherman.

Enjoy the Beauty of Khai Long
When you come to this place, you will have the opportunity to admire the sunrise and sunset over the sea. To witness this breathtaking sight, wake up early when the ground is still blurry, walk barefoot on the smooth sand, and await the sun rising like a giant gem slowly emerging from the water.
As the sunset descends, the sun slowly sets over the western sea, leaving a charming and sweet scene for Khai Long Sea before everything plunges into the night.

During low tide, the beach here reveals its true form. You will be fascinated by the fish and shrimp trapped in puddles or between rocks. While other beaches make it rare to find a live shell or clam, at Khai Long Beach, you just need to flip a few small rocks to discover them.
For those who grew up by the sea, these things are entirely normal. But for those who have had limited opportunities to visit the open sea, this will undoubtedly be an incredibly wonderful and interesting experience.

Whether it's boiled crab, grilled prawns, sour fish soup, or steamed clams with ginger, accompanied by a few shots of traditional liquor – all are precious gifts from Mother Nature.
And of course, when the night falls, the lighthouse on Hon Khoai Island will sweep long beams of light, helping everyone sing and celebrate together.
