Nestled between two large passes, Hai Van Pass and Phu Gia Pass. Lang Co beach belongs to Lang Co town, Phu Loc district, Thua Thien Hue province. (See map of Lang Co bay )
It is nearly 30km from Da Nang city to the north and about 70km from Hue city center to the south.

When approaching the foot of Hai Van pass, you will have a panoramic view of Lang Co Bay with a white sand dune emerging running in a beautiful arc.
Another reason why Lang Co always welcomes so many tourists is because Lang Co Beach is located right on the way to the heritage sites of the central region from Phong Nha Cave, Hue Ancient Capital, Hoi An Ancient Town and even My Son Sanctuary. .

+ If going from Da Nang, you should choose to take the pass by motorbike, which will be more suitable for sightseeing instead of going through the tunnel, but you need to be very careful when going through dangerous winding sections.
+ In the evening in Lang Co, there are not too many fun activities because it is far from the center, so I still recommend going back during the day.
Lang Co Hue tour
Currently, there are many units that organize tours to Lang Co to visit, among them you can refer to the 1-day Hue tour from Da Nang that I have reviewed before.
This tour combines Lang Co tour and other famous attractions in Hue such as Khai Dinh Tomb, Thien Mu Pagoda, Hue Citadel.
However, the disadvantage of the tour is that you don’t stay in Lang Co for a long time, you can’t visit Hai Van Pass (passing the tunnel). If you are interested, you can book a tour to Lang Co without worrying about how to move and where to eat, there will be a car to pick you up at the hotel and take care of your meal at the restaurant.
