Halong Bay Starting in the Far North, bordering China is Tra Co, not a beautiful beach by anyones standards what with its muddy flats at low tide; but its a pleasant place to stay if youre on your way into our out of China, before heading to Halong Bay. Bai Chay beach is the nearest to Hanoi, so it draws a huge crowd of people on the weekends and in summer. It too doesnt live up to the beauty of the southern beaches, but does serve up some good seafood harvested from nearby Halong Bay. It certainly isnt a place to come in winter as temperatures can drop to the 15 degree C mark. Halong Bay offers plenty of small beaches, most of them on islands in the middle of the Bay (though the majority of islands are too steep and rocky to have beaches).These are best visited by kayak because large touring boats dont have the shallow depth to approach the rocky shore.
