Sandwiched between Phu Gia Pass in the north and Hal Van Pass in the south, Lang Co beach borders a section of National Highway 1A. It stretches for l0km with the imposing Rang Cua Range providing a picturesque backdrop. Its inside part is called An Cu and a lagoon stretches for eight kilometres with a total area of about 1,800 hectares and opens into the sea via the An Cu estuary. On the other side of the lagoon a railway skirts around the foot of the mountain, providing an interesting example of early twentieth century engineering. Gazing from Hal Van and Phu Gia peaks, Lang Co is like a peninsula surrounded by the sea and lagoons.
Lang Co is a small fishing village lying on the foot of a mountain in the Truong Son range, protruding into the sea. It is a beautiful picture and everything you can imagine of a paradise: coconut trees and small simple bungalows on smooth white sands and turquoise water.
The bathing season is from April to the end of July with the average temperature of 25?c and 158 sunny hours per month, ideal for beach enthusiasts.
