Dawn breaks over Hon Bay Canh with a narrow ribbon of sand that glows as the speedboat slips into the bay. Salt and warm wind press against your face; coral gardens sit just beyond the surf and a retired shipwreck crouches on the seafloor like an old story. You set a tent on firm sand while the sea nudges the shoreline—this is camping with an ocean as a neighbor.
