Audio Guide of Sam Son Beach

Sam Son Beach is a public space open 24 hours a day, although most services operate from dawn until late at night. It is 16 km from Thanh Hoa City, and you can easily get there by taxi or bus; find it here on Google Maps.

Access to the beach and the seafront promenade is completely free for all visitors. You only need to pay if you decide to rent umbrellas, sunbeds, or use the shower services and private parking.

To enjoy a swim and relax, half a day is enough, but the nighttime atmosphere is lively. If you want to explore nearby temples such as Doc Cuoc Temple and Truong Le Mountain, we recommend setting aside a full day.

Sam Son was established in 1906 by French colonists as a luxury retreat destination in Indochina. It is a place rich in local legends and tradition, and one of the first seaside tourist resorts in modern Vietnamese history.

The ideal season is summer, from May to August, although it is usually very crowded with local tourism. The best secret is to go at sunrise: you will see the fishermen returning and enjoy the beach peacefully before the crowds arrive.

The seafront promenade along Ho Xuan Huong Street is wide, paved, and accessible for wheelchairs. However, getting down to the sand and water is difficult without assistance because there are no specific boardwalks across the sand.

Do not miss Doc Cuoc Temple, located on a rock facing the sea, or the famous Hon Trong Mai Rocks, linked to a legend of eternal love. The FLC Sam Son complex is also nearby for more modern leisure options.

Always agree on the price of any service, such as a motorbike taxi, food, or sunbeds, before accepting it to avoid extra charges. To truly understand the history you see, we suggest bringing our downloadable audio guide from iaudioguia.com.
