Why Visit Ha Tinh’s Beaches for Swimming?

Pristine Shores and Sustainable Escapes

Ha Tinh Province, located 341 km south of Hanoi on Vietnam’s North-Central Coast, boasts a 137 km coastline with pristine beaches renowned for white sands, turquoise waters, and serene environments. Attracting over 30,000 visitors annually, these beaches offer swimming and eco-friendly activities costing $0.50–$35 (12,500–875,000 VND), ideal for families, couples, and eco-conscious travelers. Ha Tinh’s tropical monsoon climate (dry season: November–April, 22–32°C or 71.6–89.6°F; rainy season: May–October, 24–36°C or 75.2–96.8°F) ensures pleasant swimming conditions year-round, with clear skies and gentle waves in the dry season.
