Cua Hoi Beach

Cua Hoi Beach is a sandy coastal beach located at the mouth of the Lam River in Nghi Hoa Ward, Cua Lo Town, Nghe An Province, Vietnam. Situated about 5 km south of central Cua Lo Beach where the river meets the East Sea, it is known for its calm, shallow waters, wide sandy shoreline and tranquil fishing village setting. The beach is less developed and less crowded than neighboring Cua Lo Beach, offering a quieter coastal experience.

Visitors can expect a wide, flat sandy beach at the estuary where the Lam River flows into the sea. The setting is open and tranquil with calm, shallow water, fishing boats anchored near the shore, and views across the river mouth toward Hon Ngu Island and Lan Chau Island. The beach area is less commercialized than Cua Lo Beach, with small local seafood restaurants and stalls along the shore, areas for walking and relaxing on the sand, and a working fishing village atmosphere.

Cua Hoi is the historic estuary port at the mouth of the Lam River, long used as a fishing harbor and river-sea gateway for the Vinh and Cua Lo area. The beach and adjacent fishing village reflect the traditional maritime livelihood of coastal Nghe An.

The beach is closely associated with the local fishing community of Nghi Hoa and Cua Lo, known for traditional fishing practices, boat anchorage at the estuary, and fresh seafood culture that is part of daily life and visitor experience.
