Khai Long Beach

Khai Long Beach is a coastal beach in Dat Mui Commune, Ngoc Hien District, Ca Mau Province at Vietnam's southernmost tip. Known for its fine golden sand, shallow clear water and surrounding mangrove forests, it lies near Cape Ca Mau within the Mui Ca Mau Biosphere Reserve. The beach is notable for its relatively undeveloped natural setting, calm waves and views of the East Sea, attracting visitors seeking a tranquil coastal experience in the Mekong Delta region.

Visitors can expect a long stretch of golden sandy shoreline bordered by casuarina trees and mangrove forest, with calm, shallow waters and a flat, open seascape facing the East Sea. The area includes a tourist zone with simple restaurants, seafood stalls and accommodation, plus open beach areas for walking, swimming and photography. The surroundings are rural and quiet, with fishing boats, coastal scenery and proximity to Dat Mui Cape. The beach is natural and not heavily commercialized.

Khai Long Beach has developed as an eco-tourism site within the Dat Mui coastal area, part of the Mui Ca Mau National Park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, reflecting the region's coastal accretion and mangrove ecosystem at the southern tip of Vietnam.

The beach reflects the coastal fishing culture of Dat Mui Commune and the Mekong Delta, where local communities rely on fishing, aquaculture and mangrove resources, and seafood cuisine is central to the visitor experience.
