HEAVEN EXISTS ON COTO ISLAND

Going on the series of Halong Bay destination, we gently reveal another little-known Island (unlike Sandy Island on Google Earth :). However, it certainly appeals you very much. There is no reason not to call this area like a heaven on earth.

Being an island District belonging Quang Ninh Province, CoTo is an unmissable place when you travel in Vietnam. As a matter of fact, there are about 40 different islands in diverse sizes on this island district. It is about 150km far away from Halong City and you must be on a 3-hour boat starting from Cai Rong Town, Van Don Island District to the Island.

Though there is no community inhabiting there, hundreds of visitors have recently been attracted by its beauty with virgin beaches rounding the island and fresh air.

The Island is now well-protected and round-the-clock by Vietnamese army

It’s convenient (no need any permission) to visit Coto Con Island by a rental boat moving from Coto Island within 20 – 30 minutes. There are only about $ 38 /boat (it’s really a reasonable price) up to 12 pax

During on the boat going to Coto Con Island, amazing nature comes into your view such as coral reefs, seaweeds and fishes swimming freely in crystal water

Because Coto Island is a little-populated area and quite away for the city centre, these beaches are really uncharted and beautiful

There are various strange conches on the beaches. They will be colorful souvenirs for your beloved people. Don't forget to gather several ones after swimming

The rocks are imaginative in unusual shapes rising to the surface sea. Be ready with your camera

It will be an unforgettable experience if you get up with the sun and go to local market in order to buy seafood. Then, enjoy on the beach when the blanket of night gradually closes in. If you are truly romantic and clever with your hands, a special table made of sand will absolutely impress your soul mate on the beach. Let make you different!
