Cửa Lò, Coastal district town in Nghệ An Province, Vietnam.
The town stretches along 28 square kilometers of coastline, featuring sandy beaches and the distant silhouette of Hòn Ngư Island in the South China Sea.
Established on August 29, 1994, Cửa Lò evolved from a traditional fishing settlement into a district-level town within the administrative structure of Vietnam.
Local restaurants serve fresh seafood dishes prepared according to North Central Vietnamese cooking methods, reflecting the region's maritime heritage.
Visitors can reach Cửa Lò through regular bus services from Vinh city or via the nearby Vinh International Airport, located 14 kilometers away.
The name Cửa Lò originates from classical Annamese pronunciation of 'kuala', denoting the meeting point of rivers or an estuary.
