A brisk speedboat slip cuts through pale morning light as you leave Cua Dai harbour; spray smells of salt and cooked taro from fishing boats, and the mainland blinks away until the Cham Islands rise like a green, rocky promise. Lang Beach receives you first—white sand, an old boat shelter, and villagers moving between nets and market stands.

Morning departures are calmer
Choose the earliest boat for the best visibility and gentler seas—afternoons can be choppier and visibility drops.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
The marine park restricts harmful chemicals; opt for mineral sunscreen and apply well before entering the water.
Bring a light water shoe
Rocky intertidal zones and coral shards make reef or water shoes useful for beach exits and short swims.

Local vendors sell snacks and handicrafts—small Vietnamese dong helps, as card machines may be absent.

A well‑fitting mask improves comfort and visibility; tours may provide gear but personal fit is best.
