With the idea of ​​creating a separate seafood market that is truly a seafood market, the town has invested money and effort to build the market and mobilize seafood vendors on the sidewalk and on the beach to do business in the market. The town leaders decided to reserve some booths without charging fees for these people to do business. This is not a simple task because the habit of selling freely has been ingrained in the thinking and working style of these households. Currently, the market has over 300 business households. In addition to setting regulations for business people not to solicit customers, cause disorder, and sell goods at the right price, the ward also organizes a cleaning team to clean the market every day.

The goal of the ward as well as the town is to attract more and more people to the market to visit, learn about and buy seafood. With the idea of ​​turning Cua Lo into a coastal tourist city, attracting tourists, Cua Lo Town is coordinating with functional sectors to plan to open more seafood markets in some wards in the area, re-plan the market network, invest in repairing and building new ones, ensuring that the seafood markets create a modern appearance and unique, rustic features unique to the Cua Lo sea area, making tourists feel that coming to the seafood market is an indispensable part of their tour.
