Lang Co Beach, Coastal beach in Phu Loc, Vietnam
Lang Co Beach is a stretch of sand on Vietnam's central coast with white shores and clear turquoise water. Mountains rise directly behind it while shallow lagoons lie between the beach and the mainland.
This place began as a small fishing settlement and transformed into a recognized coastal destination during French colonial times. That period marked its shift from isolation to outside interest.
Local fishing families continue their traditional way of life here, and their daily work shapes how the beach feels and functions for visitors.
The best months to visit are March through September when weather is warm and dry. Getting here is straightforward with buses and taxis available from nearby cities like Hue and Da Nang.
An annual springtime festival here features water sports and fishing displays that celebrate local traditions. This event gives travelers a rare chance to see how fishing communities still operate today.

Vietnam extends more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) from mountain regions in the north to the Mekong Delta in the south, offering travelers a wide range of natural and historical sites beyond urban centers. The country includes Buddhist temples like Bai Dinh and Thien Mu Pagoda, cave systems such as Son Doong and Hang En, and rice terraces at Y Ty and Hoang Su Phi. Geographic features span from limestone formations in Ninh Binh to coastal areas at Phu Quoc and Ly Son islands, and waterfalls at Ban Gioc along the Chinese border. Historical sites document different periods of Vietnamese history. The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long in Hanoi preserves royal palace remains, while Po Nagar Cham Towers in Nha Trang date to the 7th century. My Son Sanctuary in Quang Nam holds temple ruins from the Champa civilization, and Cu Chi Tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City served as an underground network during the Vietnam War. The Mekong Delta in the south consists of waterways, floating markets and traditional villages, while Mui Ne sand dunes and Lang Co Beach present different coastal landscapes.
