Cô Tô (Quảng Ninh) promises to be a destination for young travelers in every holiday season.
Explore the 10 most delightful and romantic experiences while traveling to Cô Tô island.
People have grown accustomed to the beaches along the central and southern regions like Đà Nẵng, Quy Nhơn, Phú Yên, and Ninh Thuận, but they may not know that the northern seas are equally beautiful and poetic. Cô Tô Sea (Quảng Ninh) is a testament to that.
Cô Tô is an archipelago located east of Vân Đồn island, Quảng Ninh province, covering an area of 47.3 km², with over 50 islands and rocks scattered throughout the area. And if you're wondering what else Cô Tô has to offer besides its beaches, then take a look at these 10 experiences below!
The dawn in Cô Tô is always tinged with a mystical shade of purple that's indescribable. No matter where you witness the dawn on this coastal stretch, you'll easily be overwhelmed by the beauty bestowed upon by nature.
Cầu Mỵ, renowned as the most beautiful sunrise spot in Cô Tô, is a fusion of peculiar rock formations and the azure waves of Cô Tô Sea. The diverse colors and shapes of the rocks create a vibrant scenery, brimming with nature's creativity.
Couples should not miss this super romantic spot. Holding hands and embracing the wind on the tip of Cầu Mỵ is an experience worthy of a lifetime.
Located approximately 11 km from Cô Tô town center, North Wharf is a serene and peaceful coastal area. From the pier, you can immediately see the nearly 15km-long North Wharf beach with its pristine beauty under the Cô Tô sun and wind.
Anyone visiting Cô Tô will hear whispers about an incredibly romantic love path here. This over 2km-long path, just 100m from the town center, is paved with red bricks along the coast, flanked by lush green trees, perfect for any couple. Whether walking or biking, you'll feel an immensely romantic atmosphere. It's also the chosen spot for couples to capture their most beautiful wedding photos.
Hong Van, 7 km from Cô Tô town center, in Hong Hai village, Dong Tien commune, offers a stretch of white sandy beach and a tranquil sea, exuding a poetic ambiance. Wooden houses dotting the beach, blending harmoniously with nature, provide ample scenery to admire.
From the pier, you can hire a motorcycle taxi to Hong Van beach for 50,000 VND. Then, you can rent a motorbike for around 200,000 VND per day to visit other nearby tourist spots.
Don't miss out on the wooden houses on Cô Tô beach when you visit this destination. With an average price of around 500,000 VND per room per person, along with flexible services like transportation and beach BBQ, the wooden house experience will give you some exciting moments this summer. Note that you should book in advance, as these wooden houses become scarce as summer approaches. Highly recommended is the wooden house at Coto Eco Lodge, which receives high praise.
Why is Vàn Chảy dubbed the most beautiful beach in Cô Tô? Because the water here is crystal clear, the sand is soft and white, clean, and the waves are only 2-3 meters high, perfect for swimming and frolicking without any worries.
Cô Tô Lighthouse is one of over 30 lighthouses operating throughout Vietnam, standing at a height of 118 meters above sea level. To reach here, you must traverse steep turns to reach the lighthouse, then climb 72 stairs from the base to the top. Here, you can freely gaze ahead and enjoy the vivid blue scenery of the sky and Cô Tô Sea.
After a tiring day of exploration, is there anything more delightful than lying on the beach, watching the sun slowly set below the mountains? Then a golden hue will spread over Cô Tô Sea.
Most tour companies operating in Cô Tô now include Beach BBQ parties in their daily itineraries for tourists. What's interesting? It's undoubtedly the opportunity to enjoy freshly caught seafood right at Cô Tô, alongside romantic table setups. Tourists can grill and prepare seafood dishes according to their preferences, then spend the remaining evening time savoring white wine, alongside close friends or loved ones.
