  Apr 5, 2023

  By Thao Le

When you come to Halong for your Vietnam vacation, you should consider adding Ba Trai Dao Beach to your itinerary. This is a pristine islet because tourism activities here are still unpopular. The close mountains, fine white sand, and clear blue sea will help you have a truly ideal vacation moment with your family and friends.

Where is Ba Trai Dao beach 

Ba Trai Dao is an islet located in Lan Ha Bay, on the right southeast side of Halong Bay. This destination is suitable for those who want to visit Halong Bay in a day because the location is only 22 kilometers from mainland Halong Bay. The Ba Trai Dao Islets and Beach are made up of three smaller islands that resemble three enormous peaches floating in the water. The Ba Trai Dao Islets' shoreline is shaped like a bow and encloses the three islands, each of which is around 23 meters high. These islets are surrounded by massive limestone mountains and are situated in an airtight region. A variety of flora, many of which are shrubs and vines, covers the mountain summits. Bright flowers blossoming on the perched rocks add to the splendor of the mountains.

Ba Trai Dao wowed visitors not only with its majestic mountains but also with its fine white sand and calm sea. The sea level in Ba Trai Dao beach is so shallow that, therefore, on some days, you can even see the bottom with creatures. Due to its offshore location, the beach at Ba Trai Dao Islets has crystal-clear water all year. There would be so much fun diving into the cold water and taking part in the joyful games with your friends and family here.
