Come to Cua Lo, to love and to remember...
(Baonghean) - Someone once said: "Our destination is not a place, but a new way of seeing." Cua Lo coastal town is a place that can create such a destination; always offering visitors new and unforgettable emotions and experiences.
Rich in tradition and culture
Cua Lo is a land with a rich history, revolutionary traditions, and culture of Nghe An province. This is clearly reflected in the legends of Lan Chau, Ngu Island, Quynh Nhai, and Dau Can, with names of villages, mountains, and rivers passed down through generations.
Right in the heart of this vibrant coastal city, with its streets lined with towering hotels stretching nearly 10 kilometers along the coastline, visitors can easily "touch" the values that are multiplying over time. These include the islands and spiritual sites steeped in the cultural life of the coastal people: the Van Loc Temple, a National Historical Monument built during the Le Trung Hung era; Lang Hieu Temple - the temple with the most whale worships in Nghe An; Mai Bang Temple, Lo Son Pagoda, Dao Ngu Pagoda, Yen Luong Temple, and more.

Stunning natural scenery
Nature has bestowed upon Cua Lo a harmonious blend of natural and other elements. The Cam River to the north and the Ca River to the south embrace Cua Lo and the sea. Cua Lo has mountains and islands that are just high enough to harmonize with the sea level.
Cua Lo Beach boasts a long, smooth, flat stretch of sand, clean seawater, and gentle waves. The depth remains constant regardless of the tide, creating a safe swimming experience. The sand is white, but only a pleasant white that complements the blue seawater. The sea has varying depths, but these are just right for a comfortable swimming experience. The area lies within a warm ocean current. In summer, Cua Lo Beach attracts millions of tourists. In winter, on sunny days with warm water, visitors can still come here to swim and relax.
