Dream Beaches: Ky Co in Quy Nhon, Vietnam

Spiagge da sogno: Ky Co nel Quy Nhon in Vietnam

Dream Beaches: Ky Co in Quy Nhon, Vietnam.
Ky Co Beach, located about 25 kilometers northeast of Quy Nhon city center in the island commune of Nhon Ly, is one of the most fascinating tourist destinations in central Vietnam. Known for its unique beauty, this beach offers a combination of white sand, crystal clear turquoise waters and rocky mountains that surround it on three sides.
Ky Co Beach is characterized by a crescent-shaped coastline, with breathtaking waves and stretches of white sand. During low tide, the rocks surrounding the beach reveal caves and form beautiful pools. Visitors can rent canoes to explore the corals in the nearby islets or opt for scuba diving to admire the marine life.
Ky Co offers a variety of activities for visitors, including jet skiing, fishing and simply relaxing on the beach. There is also a long wooden bridge in the center of the beach, ideal for photos. The beach is well maintained, with staff ensuring it remains free of plastic, making it one of the least polluted beaches in Vietnam.
One of the most spectacular moments in Ky Co is watching the spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Despite its popularity, the beach is not overly crowded, especially in the morning hours. However, it is advisable to visit early in the morning or on weekdays to avoid any crowds.
To reach Ky Co Beach from the center of Quy Nhon, you can rent a motorbike, which is the most convenient option. Alternatively, there are tours available that include a boat service to the island, a meal and diving.
Seafood is a specialty of the region, with dishes including grilled sea urchin, abalone, snails, scallops and cockles. However, the food service in Ky Co is still developing, so more dining options can be found in the center of Quy Nhon.
Ky Co Beach is a perfect place for those seeking natural beauty, recreational activities and tranquility. It is a destination that combines the best of Central Vietnam, ideal for an unforgettable holiday.

le velelle in Baia del Silenzio nel marzo 2024

The velelle in the Bay of Silence in March 2024.
Last year, right around this time, an event occurred that unfortunately does not happen so rarely: hundreds, indeed thousands, of these small animals washed up on the beach of Sestri Levante.

Have you ever seen these beached animals?

Here's where the bay is located:

Velella velella, also known as St. Peter's or St. John's boat, is a colony of hydrozoans of the Porpitidae family. It is often found in all oceans, on the shores or at most 1-2 cm deep in the water, with a preference for warm or temperate waters. Like other cnidarians (coelenterates), Velella velella is a carnivorous animal. It captures its prey, usually plankton, using its tentacles that contain toxins. These toxins, while effective against the prey, are harmless to humans, as they cannot penetrate the skin and do not cause any reaction to human skin. However, it is preferable to avoid touching your eyes after picking up a Velella.
