Photographers flock to capture the rocks of this Vietnamese beach

VIET NAM NEWS/ANN - When travelling to the south-central coastal province of Binh Thuan, tourists often head for the well-known resorts, beaches and sand dunes in the Mui Ne area of Phan Thiet city.
But only 100 kilometres away is Co Thach beach in the province’s Tuy Phong district, an unusual coastal site lined with seaweed-covered pebbles and rocks of varying shapes and sizes.

In recent years, the area has seen thousands of people, mostly photographers, coming to visit between February and April to capture images of the rocks at sunrise and sunset.
When the tide recedes, the green seaweed on the stones and rocks glistens in the morning sunlight and appears blue, but at noon it takes on a yellow hue. The stunning changes in colour can also be seen at sunset.
For me, Co Thach beach and Chua Hang (Cave Pagoda) nearby are part of my childhood memories with many caves nearby to discover.
On holidays, especially during Tet, locals would visit the beach to relax after a year of hard work and study.
Today, the beach, which is about one kilometre long and 200 to 300 metres wide, is as beautiful as ever. With a dizzying variety of small and big stones, I can still climb up to the top of a rocky boulder and sit and enjoy the sound of waves crashing onto the shore.
