Driving 16km from the center of Thanh Hoa or 170 km from Hanoi, tourists will reach Sam Son Beach in Thanh Hoa province. This place has been a famous destination since the beginning of the last century, when the French begun building amenities here to serve themselves and the courts of the Nguyen regime. Apart from the gifts that the nature presents, Sam Son also has many exciting sites for travelers to explore.
Sam Son is a long and beautiful beach covering more than 16km in length. Visitors will have some memorable moments when wallowing in the cool blue sea, listening to the sound of the wave and the wind, taking a nap on the sunlight sandbanks, or building sand castles. Besides, this is a good place to try various local seafood assortments such as shrimps, fish, or crabs and also to bring back home some pretty souvenirs. The very smooth and gentle sandbank, combined with clean and azure water makes the scenery of Sam Son beach glorious and gorgeous.
Sam Son also has another captivating destination with many natural attractions and historical vestiges: the Truong Le Mountain range. The part that is adjoining to the sea is called Co Giai Islet. On top of this islet, there is a small pagoda named “Doc Cuoc”, which means “One Leg”. The pagoda reminds local people of a heroic legend of a giant that manages to slay a sea monster and guard the sea. Futhermore, there is a special rock name “Trong Mai”, created with two huge boulders on a flat rock. There is a story that these rocks represent a pair of husband and wife, who love each other so passionately that both have been transformed into birds and lived forever together.
