My Long Coastal Village

My Long Coastal Village is a traditional fishing village in My Long Nam Commune, Cau Ngang District, Vinh Long Province (formerly Tra Vinh Province) on the southeastern coast of the Mekong Delta. Facing the East Sea, it is notable for its long sandy coastline, protective mangrove forests, aquaculture ponds and Khmer-Viet fishing community. The village offers a quiet coastal landscape where visitors observe daily fishing activities, seafood production and mangrove ecology.

Visitors can expect a low-lying coastal settlement with sandy beaches, intertidal mudflats, mangrove belts and aquaculture ponds. The area consists of fishing hamlets, small jetties, seafood drying yards and narrow village roads. Visitors can walk along the shoreline, observe fishing boats and nets, see clam and shrimp farming, and experience the daily life of a Mekong Delta fishing community in a quiet, rural coastal environment.

My Long area in Cau Ngang is a long-established coastal settlement in the Mekong Delta, developed around fishing and aquaculture. The coastline has been shaped by mangrove planting for coastal protection and by the expansion of clam and shrimp farming as the main livelihood of the local community.

The village reflects the coastal culture of the Mekong Delta with a mixed Viet-Khmer community. Livelihoods are centered on fishing, aquaculture and seafood processing, with local markets, fishing practices and cuisine representing the traditional coastal way of life in former Tra Vinh Province, now part of Vinh Long Province.
