Halong Bay is not only famous for its majestic scenery but also home to some of the most stunning beaches in Vietnam. Here, nature and people exist in harmony — gentle waves kiss the white sands, and the golden sunset paints everything in a soft glow. If you are looking for a place to relax, explore, and truly feel the sea’s charm, discovering the beaches of Halong Bay is an experience you shouldn’t miss.

Bai Chay Beach – The Vibrant Heart of the Coastal City

Located in the very center of Halong City, Bai Chay is easily accessible from cruise ports, hotels, and beachfront resorts. The beach stretches for over one kilometer, with soft white sand and emerald waters glistening under the sun. During the day, it shines with golden light, while at night, it sparkles with reflections from Bai Chay Bridge and the colorful lights of Sun World.

As the most popular beach in Halong, Bai Chay perfectly combines swimming, relaxation, and entertainment. It is the ideal place to feel the lively rhythm of a coastal city, full of energy and excitement. You can swim, stroll along the beach, try parasailing or jet skiing, watch the sunset from Bai Chay Bridge, or enjoy fresh seafood at the night market. Once the city lights up, you will not want to leave.

Ti Top Beach – Where You See the Wonder from Above

About 8 kilometers from Tuan Chau Pier, Ti Top Island is a highlight on most Halong Bay cruise routes. Situated in the heart of the bay, the island attracts you with its crescent-shaped white sand beach and crystal-clear water. From the top of Ti Top Mountain, the panoramic view of Halong Bay is breathtaking, with limestone peaks rising from jade-green water to form a magnificent natural masterpiece.

Often called the balcony of Halong Bay, Ti Top is the best place to feel the purity and calm of this world-famous heritage site. The gentle waves, clear air, and turquoise water make it perfect for relaxing and exploring. You can swim, kayak around the island, or hike up the hill for a spectacular view. A sunset on Ti Top will show you why everyone who visits Halong dreams of coming back.

Soi Sim Beach – A Peaceful Hideaway in the Bay

Only 700 meters from Ti Top Island, Soi Sim is a quiet stop that is easy to reach on the same cruise. It charms you with its golden sand, clear blue water, and green hills covered in trees. From a distance, the island looks like a soft green spot floating gently on the emerald sea, a tranquil corner of Halong that few travelers have discovered.

If Ti Top is lively, Soi Sim is calm and soothing, the perfect escape for anyone seeking peace within the bay. The air is fresh, the waves are soft, and time seems to slow down. You can swim, walk along the sand, enjoy a picnic under the shade, or simply relax in the natural beauty. A day on Soi Sim is a quiet, refreshing pause during your Halong adventure.

Quan Lan Beach – Classic and Pure Beauty

Located in the peaceful waters of Bai Tu Long Bay, in Van Don District, Quan Lan is about two hours by boat from central Halong. The island features three beautiful beaches: Son Hao, Minh Chau, and Quan Lan. Each one is like a strip of white silk stretching beneath rows of swaying casuarina trees. The powdery sand, clear blue sea, and vast open space give Quan Lan an elegant, timeless beauty.

Here, life moves slowly. There are no crowds or noise, only the sound of the wind and the gentle smiles of islanders. It is an ideal retreat for those who want to find peace and connect with nature. You can swim, cycle around the island, visit ancient temples, explore sand dunes, or enjoy freshly grilled seafood by the sea. Every moment here feels calm, pure, and unforgettable.

From soft white sands to emerald waters embracing limestone cliffs, Halong Bay’s beaches are not just destinations but soulful journeys into nature’s magic.  Halong Bay, the tranquil paradise, is waiting for you.
