Can Tho Beach

Can Tho Beach: A must-visit in the Mekong Delta for sun-seekers

21/07/2025 248 views

In the beating heart of the Mekong Delta lies something unexpected: a beach. Can Tho Beach is a rare slice of tropical escape built right at the edge of a riverside city. For a place known for floating markets and river cruises, this man-made beach breaks the mold.

1. A glance at Can Tho Beach

Can Tho Beach is not your typical coastal paradise. Built on the banks of the Hau River at the intersection of Cai Khe Ward (formerly Ninh Kieu District), this Can Tho artificial beach is the largest freshwater beach in the Mekong Delta. Officially opened in 2014, it was created by pouring nearly one million cubic meters of sand into the riverbank to form a mud-free, swim-friendly zone.

At Can Tho Beach, the sky stretches wide and blue. The breeze rolls in strong and clean. The tropical calm of the Mekong River seeps into every corner. Whether you are a first-timer or a frequent visitor, this beach in Can Tho has a way of surprising you.

2. How to get to Can Tho Beach?

From downtown Can Tho, make your way to Vo Van Kiet Street. Follow it southeast, then merge onto Mau Than Street. Keep going, then turn left onto 30 Thang 4 Street. Keep going, then merge onto Hoa Binh Street. At the next roundabout, make your exit onto Nguyen Trai Street, follow it, and cross Ninh Kieu Bridge. Keep going past another roundabout and you will reach Can Tho Beach eventually.

3. Things to do at Can Tho Beach

3.1. Admire the landscape

First things first: breathe. Can Tho Beach is not just about sand and water – it is a place where the city unwinds into the horizon. Take a slow walk down the shore and soak in the views of the iconic Can Tho Bridge. With long cables slicing across the sky, it is one of Southeast Asia’s largest cable-stayed bridges. The golden hour is the sweet spot, when you can watch the sun dip behind the river, painting everything in soft amber light.

3.2. Experience sunbathing and swimming

Who says you need saltwater to swim? Can Tho Beach offers clean, clear freshwater perfect for taking a dip. There are no tides, no waves, and no surprise jellyfish. Just soft sand under your feet and a peaceful float in the river. For those who just want to lie back and soak in the sun, the beach is wide enough to spread out without bumping elbows. Bring a towel, some sunscreen, and let the day melt away.

3.3. Take part in water-based activities

Can Tho Beach is not a sleepy beach. Want speed? Hop on a jet ski or join a banana boat ride with your crew. Prefer something more chill? Rent a kayak and paddle your way along the riverfront. Even parasailing is available here, offering aerial views of the city and its waterways. If you are up for something a bit faster, try a high-speed boat tour. It whisks you past the entire waterfront, letting you admire the lively scenery in one breezy ride.

3.4. Enjoy a picnic at the beach

No beach trip is complete without some food. You can bring your own or grab local snacks from nearby vendors. Fresh coconuts, grilled seafood, sticky rice, and Vietnamese iced coffee are always within reach. Spread out a picnic mat and claim your spot. Whether you are a solo traveler or coming with family, the atmosphere is welcoming.

3.5. Chill out at a beachfront cafe

Maybe sand is not your thing. No problem. The beachfront has several laid-back cafes that offer shaded seating with unobstructed views of the river and skyline. It is a perfect spot to sip something cold and watch the boats glide by. The rhythm of Can Tho Beach is best appreciated slowly. Order a Vietnamese iced coffee with milk, let the breeze do its thing, and settle into the calm.
