Morning light slants across a long ribbon of sand as an air‑conditioned minibus eases out of Duong Dong. The guide—local, English speaking—maps the day: pepper vines, a war prison museum, a short rainforest walk, a floating fishing village and a boat hop to a quieter corner of Starfish Beach or Khem Beach. Waves pull at the shoreline like a companion daring the visitor into the water.
