About Tan Thanh Beach
Tan Thanh Beach is a coastal beach in Tan Thanh Commune, Go Cong Dong District, Dong Thap Province, about 50 km from My Tho. Known for its dark sandy and muddy tidal flats stretching into the East Sea, it is not suited for swimming but is notable for clam and seafood farming, long breakwater embankment, and expansive views. Visitors come for scenery, fresh seafood, and the tranquil fishing village atmosphere.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a wide, flat beach with dark sand and extensive muddy tidal flats exposed at low tide, rather than clear water for swimming. The setting includes a long concrete embankment and breakwater, fishing boats, clam farming areas, and rows of seafood stalls and restaurants along the shore. The environment is open, windy and tranquil, with views over the East Sea and opportunities to walk on the flats, observe local fishing activities, and taste fresh seafood.
