Ba Trai Dao beach
Ba Trai Dao beach (3
Peaches beach) is situated about 22 km from
Bai Chay
tourism wharf to the Southeast, nearby
Cat Ba island. This is a gorgeous beach possessing
unspoilt beauty and poetic landscapes. The place is
named Ba Trai Dao because it has 3 soft sandbanks in
form of an arch embracing entirely peach-shaped
mountains.
Three peaches are three small mountains of about over 20
m high which look like three fairy peaches from the
distance. This destination is attached with a romantic
love story between a good beautiful youngest fairy and a
poor fisherman. Because they lived in two different
worlds, the fairy stole three peaches of his father
(Jade Emperor) for her lovers with a hope that they will
live together forever. However, Jade Emperor knew this.
He turned three beaches into three rocky mountains and
forced the fairy to come back to the heaven.
Ba Trai Dao beach is extremely beautiful with find
sands, clear and clean water. On sunny day, visitors
could see to the bottom. Compared to other
beaches
in Ha Long Bay, Ba Trai Dao beach is shallower,safer
and more airtight. This is because it is surrounded by
rock islands. Particularly, the cliffs above the beach
have strange shape which is a perfect background for
tourists to get impressive photos- More than that, on
the mountain grows various plant species with radiant
color, creating an animated landscape. Still, not all
the time could tourists admire and swim in the beach.
When the tide is high, it will drown the whole beach and
that is why your time at the beach is limited about 2-3
hours/per day. Therefore, before going to the beach, you
should survey tide tables if you want to swim in the
beach.
