Long Hai

The little fishing village of Long Hai has slowly morphed into a luxury seaside resort, but its fishing fleet and ancient rituals remain.

Long Hai is close to the busy peninsula city of Vung Tau, but is much quieter. Life in Long Hai still revolves around the beach and the fishing port. Vendors tempt beachgoers with tasty snacks and meals made from the catch of the day. Don’t miss the Nghinh Co Festival in the second lunar month. You’ll witness a spellbinding scene of lantern-lit fishing boats bobbing in the bay while the crew pray to a local goddess at the Dinh Co Temple by the sea.
