About 45km northeast of Long Hai is the remote and beautiful Ho Coc Beach. It’s still a very undeveloped area, though the weekends bring crowds of Vietnamese tourists.
The area around the beach is part of an 11,000 hectare rainforest that was designated a nature reserve in 1975. most of the larger wildlife was exterminated or else relocated for safety reasons (most of the elephants were sent to Thailand), but plenty of birds and monkeys can be spotted in the forest. Guides for the walking trails can be hired for about 50,000d a day. Inquire at Hang Duong Ho Coc.
