About Ba Dong Beach
Ba Dong Beach is a coastal beach in Truong Long Hoa commune, Duyen Hai town, Vinh Long Province (formerly Tra Vinh Province) in the Mekong Delta of southern Vietnam. Stretching about 10 km along the East Sea, it is known for its flat sandy shoreline, extensive casuarina forests and calm waters. It is one of the few sea beaches in the Mekong Delta and serves as a popular local recreation area for swimming, sightseeing and seafood.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a long, relatively flat sandy beach bordered by casuarina and mangrove trees with calm, shallow waters and fishing boats near the shore. The area includes open beachfront, shaded groves, simple seafood restaurants and stalls, and nearby accommodation. The setting is natural and low-key rather than resort-developed, with views of the sea, wind turbines in the distance and local fishing activity.
