Not bustling with fine white sand or cool blue water like famous beaches in the Central region, Dong Chau, Thai Binh has its own charm with the pale red-brown sand. The clash of each tidal wave against the red sand creates an extremely impressive scene.

Dong Chau beach is located in Dong Minh commune, Tien Hai district, nearly 30km from Thai Binh city along Highway 39B. The long unspoiled coastline with clam fields spreading across an area adorned with watchtowers, hidden in the sunset or sunrise, has become an attraction for visitors to admire.

In the midst of a vast expanse of sky and land, the backs of people raking clams reflect on the surface of the water. Above the red sky, looming in the distance are tall clam huts. The scenery is poetic, charming, and full of life, like a masterpiece.
