Ho Coc Beach
Bãi biển Hồ Cốc
A natural beach northeast of Vung Tau beside a primeval forest reserve. Golden sand alternates with rocks, and it has few crowds and fine scenery, making it a good self-drive day trip.
Ho Coc Beach lies about 45 kilometers northeast of Vung Tau in Xuyen Moc district, backed by the primeval forest of the Binh Chau–Phuoc Buu Nature Reserve. Several kilometers of golden sand alternate with huge boulders along the shore, and the water is clear. Development is limited, so it is much quieter than the beaches in the city. A few resorts and simple seafood restaurants line the coast, where you can rent umbrellas and chairs. Some sections are managed by resorts and require an entrance fee. It takes about 1 hour by car or chartered van from Vung Tau, and it can be combined with Ho Tram Coast and Binh Chau Hot Springs on a one-day eastern loop. Waves can be strong, so swim only in designated areas.
