Bai Chay

Bai Chay, meaning ‘Scorched Beach,’ derives its name from a 13th-century forest fire that swept across the mainland. Located in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, it serves as the primary departure point for Halong Bay cruises. Beyond its functional role, Bai Chay offers a wide sandy beach and a lively waterfront. The area buzzes with activity day and night, providing visitors with a vibrant atmosphere to explore before or after their cruise. The combination of natural beauty and dynamic local life makes it a noteworthy stop.
