Open Phu Quoc← Tất cả bàiCua Can
Walking down the Cua Can river, you will admire the magical intersection of a gentle river, a vast estuary and bustling residential areas located one after another on the same strip of land. The terrain of the sand dunes and trails along the riverbank can twist and change shape with the seasons; therefore, provide an extremely sharp destination coordinates instead of just throwing the driver two generic "Cua Can".
How to visit
If you're planning to stand and watch the sunset on the river or swing your own kayak in Cua Can, it's crucial to accurately locate the starting point, and then inquire about the situation of the day's water and wind power. The land is an intricate intertwine of scattered houses, zigzag alleys, and tourist attractions scattered all over the place; dropping a generic pin with the name of the region may not lead you to the right place. One more note: after heavy rains, sections of red dirt or quicksand here can become traps that challenge your steering.
Know before you go
Don't mistake Cua Can for a busy beach with crowded shops and services to the teeth. The charm of this place changes constantly with each winding river, along the vast estuary and with the water of each season; a dune of sand that you see today may completely disappear or take on a different bizarre shape after experiencing a windy season. Don't be under the illusion that the actual scenery will always be shimmering, perfect like in the postcard photo you used to rub.
Before you visit
- Turn on the map to inquire about the road situation and determine the coordinates of the specific pick-up point before deciding to let the car in.
- Absolutely do not arbitrarily step off the boat without clearly verifying the legality of the organizer and not being equipped with a standard life jacket.
- Show respect by keeping the passage open for households living along the riverbank.
- Remember, a photo of the estuary in the dry season cannot accurately reflect today's rushing water levels.
