Hai Thanh Beach

Hai Thanh Beach is a coastal beach in Hai Thanh Commune, Nghi Son Town (formerly Tinh Gia District), Thanh Hoa Province, central Vietnam. It is known as a traditional fishing village beach with a long sandy shoreline interspersed with rocky sections, anchored fishing boats and a quiet local atmosphere. Unlike larger resort beaches, it retains an authentic fishing community character and is noted for fresh seafood and sunrise views over the Gulf of Tonkin.

Visitors can expect a relatively undeveloped, working fishing beach with sandy stretches, rocky outcrops, and numerous wooden fishing boats moored near the shore. The setting includes a small fishing village, simple seafood eateries and local markets along the coast. The area is suitable for walking along the shore, observing daily fishing activities, photography at sunrise, and enjoying fresh seafood. The beach is not a large resort development and facilities are basic and locally operated.

The beach reflects the traditional coastal fishing culture of Thanh Hoa Province. The local community in Hai Thanh Commune maintains fishing as a primary livelihood, with daily boat activities, fish markets and seafood processing forming the cultural character of the area for visitors.
