They will listen to the melodious folk songs echoing with the waves every night, and experience the feeling of catching squid along the coastline.

In recent years, coupled with the development of tourism and resorts, night squid fishing by basket boat at Cua Lo beach has become an attractive pastime for many tourists. This service has created a unique feature, giving Cua Lo tourism its own distinct identity, something that no other beach in the country possesses.

At night, hundreds of small basket boats line the beach, inviting tourists to go squid fishing. You can join an exciting two-hour squid fishing trip, but if you want to go all night, you'll have to rent the entire boat. Although the basket boat is tiny, like a dot on the sea, it can carry 4-5 people on a night fishing trip. On calm nights, the boat only needs to leave the shore 300-400 meters before dropping anchor and starting to fish for squid.

The equipment for a squid fishing trip is very simple. Besides the basket boat, there's a net, a kerosene lamp, several fishing rods over a meter long, and a spool of line about 30 meters long, each with one or two colorful fishing hooks resembling shrimp or fish attached. The fisherman drops the hooks into the water and occasionally tugs the rod gently to attract the squid. Stimulated by the glittering hooks, the squid will cling to the bait immediately. This is a type of tourism that almost all visitors to Cua Lo participate in.

Spiritual tourism

When visiting Cua Lo, in addition to swimming, having fun, relaxing, and enjoying delicious fresh seafood, spiritual tourism is also truly attractive to visitors. This is because the Cua Lo area has many historical and cultural relics, such as:
