The ocean of infinity
Quang Lang Beach is located in Thuy Hai commune, Thai Thuy district, Thai Binh province, roughly 120 kilometers from Hanoi and 35 kilometers from Thai Binh city. Thanks to its unique characteristics and natural beauty, in recent years, this beach has emerged as an up-and-coming tourist attraction. While it lacks crystal clear water, white sand, and rows of coconut palms, Quang Lang Beach stands out because of its unspoiled charm and something that other beaches envy: a boundless sea that seemingly stretches even beyond the horizon.
To see the beach at its best, you will need to start moving at 4 o’clock in the morning and walk for about an hour over two kilometers, crossing the protective forest that encircles the beach.
Throughout the first quarter of this journey, the mud can be quite slippery and loose, which is common by beaches near soft soil. As you continue, you will find fine sand cradling your feet with every footstep, making the remainder of the journey much easier. In this low-lit, silent atmosphere, the only sounds are those of sand compressing beneath your feet. Here and there, you can see the blurry figures of fishermen and hear the muffled echoes of people talking and laughing from afar.
As the eastern horizon opens up, the earliest rays of sunlight give off faint orange and red hues and grow brighter with each passing moment. You can see the endless waters in two phases, depending on when the sun rises.
