Co To Island has many small beaches including Hong Van, Van Chay, etc. with wide, long beaches and smooth, sandy beaches. 

Coming to Co To, you cannot miss the Co To Island Water Park! It is a mini-park on the sea at Hong Van beach. There are various exciting games here. Along with family-kayaking, watching the sunrise is another suggestion.
