Cat Ba Archipelago has more than 100 white sand beaches spread across its coves and bays. The larger beaches - Cat Co 1, Cat Co 2, Cat Co 3 and Tung Thu - near the centre of Cat Ba town are known for their bustling atmosphere and lively, well-equipped beach services. Those who prefer peace, relaxation and privacy can seek out the small, pristine beaches on the bay, set apart from the mainland. Stay in a bungalow, try water sports such as surfing or scuba diving among the coral, and savour fresh seafood to the sound of the sea.
