Tan Thanh Beach Community Tourism - This is an authentic fishing village, not a fabricated tourist spot. Visitors have the opportunity to experience the genuine lifestyle of the local people. They might observe them engaged in daily activities, mending nets, preparing boats, or selling their catch.
Sampan Rides: Cua Khe features a 4.5 km coastline, and sampan rides are a popular attraction for tourists. These traditional wooden boats are an essential part of Vietnamese fishing culture, and a ride on a sampan offers a unique view of the village and coastline. Cua Khe has a cooperative dedicated to community-based tourism, providing visitors with an immersive experience that respects local culture and lifestyle. Tourist spending is likely to directly benefit the local residents. It may not have the same level of amenities or infrastructure as more developed destinations.
- Cây Đa xóm Chùa - The banyan tree (Ficus superba var. japonica Miq.), locally known as “cây đa Xóm Chùa”, stands majestically over 15 meters tall, with a vast canopy that offers shade to an entire gathering space below. Its trunk—over 4.3 meters in diameter—bears witness to centuries of natural and human history. Once situated next to a village pagoda (hence the name “Xóm Chùa” or “Pagoda Hamlet”), the tree has long been a spiritual and cultural cornerstone in the lives of villagers.
During wartime, the hollow of the tree provided shelter to local resistance fighters. Although the banyan was targeted with explosives, it survived and grew stronger, becoming a symbol of resilience for generations. Today, the banyan tree remains a beloved part of the village’s daily life. Children play in its shade, elders gather to rest and share stories, and community rituals occasionally take place nearby. It empowers local communities, preserves cultural identity, and respects natural heritage.
