Located about 30 km from the center of Vinh city, Nghi Thiet rocky beach (Tan Long, Nghi Thiet, Nghi Loc) stands out with its impressive scenery but is not yet widely known to tourists. It's an ideal destination for those who enjoy exploring fishing village life and beautiful coastal landscapes without the crowds during holidays.
The stunning scenery at Nghi Thiet Rock Beach will leave visitors in awe.
Discover the life of a fishing village at Cau Ca (Ong Hong Bridge).
From the city center, visitors can travel along National Highway 46, turn onto Provincial Road 536, then turn onto National Defense Road towards Vissai seaport to reach Nghi Thiet rocky beach. Along National Defense Road, you will find Cau Ca (Ong Hong Bridge) - a gathering place for fishing boats in the Nghi Thiet fishing village area.
The bridge is designed to be less than 2 meters wide, so please move carefully when going onto it.
From afar, the Fish Bridge (Ong Hong Bridge) offers glimpses of picturesque scenery reminiscent of scenes from Korean dramas. It's a sought-after destination due to its romantic beauty. Almost any angle on the bridge offers a perfect photo opportunity. The colorful fishing boats stand out beautifully against the blue of the sea and sky.
It's not difficult to spot bustling fishermen docking their boats full of fish if you arrive early in the morning. The scene becomes more peaceful and quiet in the afternoon, when the boats huddle together, anchored at the shore, resting to prepare for the next fishing trip. The tranquil life of Nghi Thiet fishing village brings an indescribable feeling of relaxation.
You can also experience sitting on a fishing boat with the local fishermen if you have a knack for "asking for favors".
Fishing and seafood trading activities here are relatively calm.
Right at the turnoff to the bridge, a variety of freshly caught seafood is on display. Although the quantity isn't large, the selection is diverse, including shrimp, crab, fish, snails, and more. This place to buy fresh, delicious seafood at affordable prices will satisfy seafood lovers. If you plan to barbecue on the rocky beach, you can also buy seafood here to add a taste of the sea to your picnic. The people of Nghe An have a saying: "Eat at Cua Hoi, swim at Cua Lo," but you can "change things up" at Nghi Thiet rocky beach, where you can both "eat" and "swim" (swim)!
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery at Nghi Thiet rocky beach.
Located between Cua Lo and Bai Lu, Nghi Thiet rocky beach is primarily visited by local residents. Some visitors come from nearby areas, but it's not yet a popular destination for tourists from afar. Blessed by nature, Nghi Thiet rocky beach retains its pristine, unspoiled beauty, largely untouched by tourism development. This is why it's called "The rough gem of Nghe An's islands."
People use many flattering words to praise the beauty of Nghi Thiet, often comparing it to "Ly Son Island" of Nghe An.
Strategically situated with mountains embracing the beach, Nghi Thiet rocky beach appeals to both mountain and sea-loving tourists. The beach boasts fine white sand and clean water; while not as large as Cua Lo or Bai Lu, it offers impressive scenery. This lesser-known destination is an ideal "hideaway" for beach lovers who prefer to avoid crowds.
The majority of people who come to swim and picnic in this area are locals.
The best time to visit Nghi Thiet Rock Beach is from mid-April to August. Traveling to Nghe An in the summer, with the dry southwest winds blowing from Laos, there's nothing more enjoyable than immersing yourself in the sea water and gazing out at the mountains and sky at Nghi Thiet Rock Beach.
Nghi Thiet rocky beach is blessed by nature with its location "backed by mountains, feet touching the water".
Visitors can prepare their own picnic supplies and barbecue with friends and family here. During the summer, it's best to visit early in the morning or around 3 PM. Upon arrival, you can "hide" in the small pine grove to relax, wait for the sun to set behind the mountains, then stroll along the beach, climb the rocks, and admire the surrounding scenery. When the sun is less intense, you can enjoy a refreshing swim before returning to eat and drink with friends and family.
The specialty of Nghi Thiet Rocky Beach, as its name suggests, is the stretch of red rocks of various shapes that extend along the coast.
Nghi Thiet boasts unique red rock formations of varying shapes, sculpted by weathering processes. These stretches of deep red and yellow rocks, carved by waves and temperature, offer interesting forms and are home to several small marine animals. Climbing the rocky outcrops, you'll encounter sand crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans emerging from the nooks and crannies. Remember to wear athletic shoes to avoid injury from the sharp rocks.
Currently, there are no tourist services, restaurants, or hotels near this destination. You can make a day trip, or travel to the nearby Bai Lu or Cua Lo areas for meals and accommodation at restaurants and hotels.
To preserve the pristine beauty of Nghi Thiet rocky beach, visitors should tidy up their belongings after picnicking and avoid littering in the area.
