Hanoi is located inland in the northern region of Vietnam, it takes at least 2 hours to get to the nearest beach.

Visiting the inner city of Hanoi is also good but when the hot season lasts, someone wants to go to the beach!

 

This season is suitable for going to the beach, and you can go to the beach from Hanoi.

I will introduce to you 3 beaches as below:

The best time to go to Vietnam's northern beaches is from May to early October.

 

Northern Vietnam is different from Japan, the hottest time of the year is from mid-May to late June.

This time a lot of people from Hanoi go to domestic beaches.

Ha Long city is about 2 hours by car from Hanoi, there is a beach called Bai Chay with a total length of about 3 km.

 

Halong City is always known for cruises on Halong Bay, but there are also beaches where you can swim.

Cat Ba Island is located in the east of Hai Phong city, about 2 and a half hours by car from Hanoi.

To reach Cat Ba Island, first you have to cross a bridge to reach Cat Hai Island, where you will take a boat to go to Cat Ba Island.

 

On Cat Ba island there is a small town, there are markets and hotels.

Cat Ba Island also has beaches that you can bathe in like Tung Thu Beach.
