Having spent over five years living in and travelling around Vietnam (and the surrounding countries) there have been many highlights on my travels. When I look back at old photos though, I really smile when thinking of what was a magical time on Vietnam's very own version of the Maldives. The beach is called the small Maldives of Vietnam because of its white sand beaches and the crystal clear turquoise water. The coral reefs and plethora of starfish and other marine life are not to be missed either.
With very few people occupying the beach, this place is really a haven of peace and solitude, so long as you aren't put off by strong smells of the sea. Fishermen still operate with giant fishing cages in this area! Most mornings, I was most likely to meet this beach dog, rather than people.
Did I mention the millions of crabs scuttling along the white sands? Plenty of those!
But really, this place is picture postcard perfect. With it's strange and unique rock boulders protruding everywhere. Calm and warm waters. Sandy shoreline.
Here are some traditional fishermen going out in the round fishing vessels.
They are called "Thung Cai". These basket boats made of bamboo and resin that dot the waters from the southern coast all the way up to Danang have it is believed that they ingenuously created during the French colonial era. When the French levied taxes on boats in Vietnam, the fishermen were unable to afford to pay them – so they designed these circular woven “baskets” that could also function as boats. The "Thung Cai" basket boats became popular along the coast thanks to both their tax-free status and their impressive simplicity.
The sunbathing area along here was largely not busy, and it was really a peaceful haven for a few days. At night, the lights light up the beach.
And the freshly caught lobster was AMAZING!
I hope you enjoyed these pictures of the Binh Lap Peninsula.
