The
beaches in Cat Ba
island are very beautiful, white-sand Cat Co beaches
(simply called Cat Co 1 and Cat Co 2 and 3 ) make a
great place to lounge around for the day. They are about
1 km southeast from Cat Ba town over a steep headland;
and can be reached on foot or by motorbike or taxi. The
two beaches are separated by a small hillock that can be
climbed over in about 20 minutes. Most; however; take
the easier route along a new; 700m; wooden seaside
walkway around the mountain. Cat Co 2 is the less busy
and more attractive of the two; and also offers simple
accommodation and camping. On weekends the beaches fill
up with Vietnamese tourists. The main beaches; apart
from those at
Cat Ba town itself; are Cai Vieng; Hong
Xoai Be and Hong Xoai Lon.
