The town on Cat Ba Island, the largest of 366 islets and islands making up the Cat Ba Archipelago. |
Cat Ba Island is a National Park and when we visited had very limited facilities for visitors. Some more recent visitors tell me it now has multi storey hotels. |
One of several beaches, this one is reached by means of a tunnel. The owner has been known to demand payment for access. |
The island was devoid of visitors in March 1994, the primitive accommodation, lack of amenities and the unrelenting rain drove us back to the mainland after only one night. |
