Take delight in beaches

| Thuan An beach |
Thuan An is a public accessible beach in Hue, which is located 15 km away from the city center. The mile-long stretch of silky, powder-white sand slopes gently into a shallow emerald lagoon, and is backed by a thick curtain of palms and tropical foliage.
Lang Co beach is another place that’s a little far for a day trip but it’s well worth a mention. It is long and broad with velvety sand and shocking blue water, and it's fringed with swaying palms and leafy trees. Lang Co is by far the most photographic beach in Hue as well as the central of Viet Nam. Besides lying lazily on the “sand”—actually made up of tiny lava pebbles—there’s plenty to do as joining some beach sports or exploring local seafood.
