Discover Cửa Cạn: Beach, River and Fishing Village

At Bãi Cửa Cạn beach, the coast meets the mouth of the Cua Can River. The beach is about 3 km long. The 15 km-long river reaches the west coast at the fishing village of Cua Can. The beach, river landscape and village life give Cửa Cạn a character that goes beyond a beach-only stay.

River Landscape and Mangroves

A wooden bridge spans the narrow Cua Can River. Mangroves and other riverside trees line its banks; the river is just wide enough for small boats. If you enjoy being on the water, consider kayaking on the Cua Can River: the route passes through lush, unspoiled forest and mangrove landscapes. Kayaks can be rented at Bãi Cửa Cạn beach or at nearby resorts to explore the area.

These experiences differ from a day at the beach: on the river, the riverside vegetation and narrow stretch of water shape the landscape, while Bãi Cửa Cạn marks the transition to the sea. This can help guide your travel plans: would you mainly like to experience the coast, or also include a kayaking trip in your vacation?

Fishing Village and Boat Trips

The fishing village of Cua Can is characterized by small wooden boats along the riverbank and a rustic coastal landscape. It is easily reached by boat and offers a glimpse into everyday local life. For travelers who want to experience village life as well as nature, this glimpse adds another dimension to their stay.

The Master Hai eco-tourism area is located on the Cua Can River. Boat trips and basket boat rides are offered there. Together with the kayaking options, these provide different ways to experience the river and mangrove landscape from the water. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Cửa Cạn, these interests can help you plan your vacation: would you rather spend time at the beach, explore the river or take boat trips?

Beach and Other Activities

Vung Bau Beach also offers distinctive scenery: its crescent-shaped stretch has fine golden sand and jade-green water. The Eschuri Vung Bau golf course, with 18 holes, is right next to the beach. If you would like to include golf in your vacation plans, it offers a clear contrast to the nature and boating experiences on the Cua Can River.

Bãi Cửa Cạn and Vung Bau can be distinguished by their described features: one beach is at the river mouth and is about 3 km long; Vung Bau is characterized by its crescent shape, fine golden sand and jade-green water. Consider which beach landscape appeals to you most and whether river trips, kayaking or golf are also important for your vacation.

Nature in the Wider Area

In the wider region, Phú Quốc National Park encompasses three distinctive forest ecosystems: mangrove forests, swampy Melaleuca forests, and evergreen and deciduous dipterocarp forests. This adds other forest types to the mangrove and riverside landscape described along the Cua Can River. If you choose Cửa Cạn as your vacation destination, you can take in the nature of the wider region as well as the beach and fishing village when planning your trip.
