Thus, many travelers choose this destination to spend the weekend or relax, with beautiful beaches, golden sands, and many places to enjoy their holidays.
Dinh Co Temple
Legend has it that Dinh Co is a small shrine built on a windswept hill of Long Hai Beach to worship a virgin who died by drowning. The girl’s soul often appears in dreams to help the villagers avoid many calamities and plagues. Thus, local people worship her as the Long Hai Goddess. Over time, the shrine was rebuilt, and more spaces were added in monumental architecture and traditional style.
The Dinh Co Beach is below the temple. Visitors can combine a trip to visit Dinh Co Temple and the beach with golden sand and very smooth and clear blue water.
