Seafood, Camping

Enjoying Seafood

In addition to dried squid and fresh fish, Cat Ba is also famous for a variety of other seafood such as clams, scallops, octopus, grouper, mussels, and oysters. You should try some of these seafood dishes.

However, tourism in Cat Ba is busiest during the summer, so seafood prices during this season are higher than usual.

Note: Always inquire about the prices before buying. You can purchase seafood and find a deserted beach to organize a BBQ with friends.

Camping at a Deserted Beach

One of the suitable experiences for a group of young friends traveling to Cat Ba is to rent a boat (or kayak), then paddle to deserted beaches outside Lan Ha Bay to camp overnight.

The feeling of being a “Robinson Crusoe on a deserted island” will surely be an unforgettable memory for any young traveler in Cat Ba.

Squid Fishing

Night squid fishing in Cat Ba is an interesting form of entertainment, but it can be quite costly. A short fishing trip costs around 500,000 VND.

You can ask the hotel owner to help arrange it, or directly inquire at the fishing docks in the central harbor of the town.
