Boat to the estuary
(Baonghean.vn) - There is a boat dock where the Lam River flows into the sea, and every morning it becomes noisy. For generations, Cua Hoi fishermen have depended on the sea for their livelihood, going out to sea at dusk and returning home excitedly at dawn. The dock with its long sandy beach is where ten or fifteen small boats return with joy and smiles.
