Cat Co 1 Beach

A little confusingly, Cat Co 1 Beach is actually located between Cat Co 2 Beach and Cat Co 3 Beach on Lan Ha Bay’s Cat Ba island. But even if it wasn’t, all three beaches are a very slow wander from Cat Ba town, and are linked together by a further short cliffside path.

Widely considered to be the most attractive of the three neighbouring beaches, Cat Co 1 Beach is backed by shapely hills thick with tree cover. Its relatively wide expanse of excellent white sand makes it popular during the high season months of spring and autumn, when it can become busy from mid-morning onwards.

An additional attraction is the huge number of water sports that can be enjoyed on Cat Co 1 Beach, which includes kayaking trips and jet-ski rentals. The beach is also known for its year-round surfing.
