They can also take the opportunity to take Instagram-worthy check-in photos against unique backdrops.

The southern end of Tam Thanh features a market, several shops, resorts, and restaurants. During the day, the area is peaceful and quiet, but it comes to life in the early evening.

Lounge chairs are available for a small fee, and refreshments and local snacks can be purchased from food vendors around the beach area.

Unmissable nearby attractions

Visitors to Tam Thanh Beach can also take the time to explore the beautiful Tam Thanh mural village. The village is just a few steps away from the beach and was completed as a project by a group of young Korean artists in 2016. Tam Thanh was chosen as the first painted village of its kind in Vietnam under a joint Korean-Vietnamese project called “Art For A Better Community.”

The project was a great success, and the village has come alive with the vibrant paintings. The entire town is now a captivating and immersive gallery waiting to be explored. The murals capture the essence and soul of the village, from children playing to fishermen in the ocean.

The joint project involved five Korean artists, seven Vietnamese artists, and local volunteers. Their aim was to show the Vietnamese people that art can be integrated into everyday life. The combination of the stunning artworks and the close-knit layout of the houses in the village creates a unique and enchanting atmosphere. One of the highlights is the incredibly lifelike portraits of local residents still living in their decorated homes.

Another remarkable attraction for visitors is the Vietnamese Heroic Mother Statue, the largest heroic mother statue in Vietnam. Designed by artist Dinh Gia Thang and executed by architect Nguyen Luan, the statue cost over $20 million. It pays tribute to the many mothers who lost their children and grandchildren during the national liberation.

The granite statue stands 18 meters tall and 120 meters wide at its base. It embodies the image of heroic mother Nguyen Thi Thu, who had multiple children and grandchildren who perished in two wars. During the wars, she also sheltered numerous soldiers in five secret tunnels hidden in her garden.
