Vietnam's "Swimming pool in the sea" - Hidden Nordic-like gem
Mui Tau Be is a famous and familiar check-in point to visitors. However, in this well-known destination lies a hidden 'natural swimming pool' out in the sea, surrounded by vertical rocks, creating a Nordic-like scenario.

| The "swimming pool" is located at Mui Tau Be (Con Dao, Ba Ria - Vung Tau), on the road from Co Ong airport to the town of Cay Bang. Mui Tau Be gets its name from being surrounded by tall-standing stones, forming an arc that embraces the water. When observed from afar, Mui Tau Be looks like a bow (Photo: Baomoi). |
Con Dao is not a large tourist destination, where tourists usually need just two days to explore all the main routes and attractions. However, there are many beautiful corners on the island that even the local people are not familiar with. Recently, in a popular tourist group on Facebook appeared an introduction of "A very beautiful and mysterious natural swimming pool in Con Dao, barely known even by locals". Below the comment section, many people Immediately inquired about this extremely unspoiled location.
The clear blue body of water is surrounded by steep cliffs, forming a "natural pool" - an ideal destination for those who like photographing and relaxing. If you have the opportunity to visit Con Dao, make sure you do not miss it out!
