Cape Ca Mau

Cape Ca Mau (Mui Ca Mau) is the southernmost tip of mainland Vietnam, located in Dat Mui Commune, Ngoc Hien District, Ca Mau Province within Mui Ca Mau National Park. Marked by a prominent GPS coordinate monument and national flag, the cape lies where mangrove forests meet the East Sea and Gulf of Thailand. It is a nationally significant landmark symbolizing Vietnam's southern frontier and a major ecotourism destination known for its coastal mangrove landscape.

Visitors can expect a coastal mangrove landscape at the southernmost point of Vietnam with a large concrete monument marking GPS coordinates 8°37'30"N 104°42'30"E, a 20.5-meter-high observation tower, a symbolic ship-shaped monument and national flag pole. The area features extensive boardwalks through mangrove forest, mudflats and waterways, boat trips through mangrove channels, and views where the East Sea and Gulf of Thailand meet. The site includes visitor paths, photo spots and small exhibition areas.

Cape Ca Mau has long been recognized as the southernmost point of Vietnam's mainland and was designated as a national tourist site. The area is associated with the expansion and settlement of the Mekong Delta and the establishment of Mui Ca Mau National Park in 2003 to protect the coastal mangrove ecosystem.

The cape is a nationally symbolic landmark representing the southern frontier of Vietnam and is a popular destination for visitors to mark their journey to the country's southernmost point.
