- What’s fun about Ho Coc Beach
- Beach paradise
The weather and atmosphere around Ho Coc are ideal, thanks to its terrain which is surrounded by a lot of mountains. It has just started with the whole idea of turning this beach into a “tourist attraction” so the landscape here still retains its inherent, classic, “natural look” with deep blue sea, white sand, trees,..and of course, it has not yet been destroyed by any of the human low-awarenesses.
Ho Coc is a perfect definition representing “a not-so-crowded spot for people wish to escape from reality and just dipping themselves into nature.”
Simply by lying in soft, incredibly-white sands here, underneath the sun shining brightly onto your skins that make it glow, is just way too enough for a beach trip.
