Lap An Lagoon

A poetic local lagoon nestled at the foot of Hai Van pass and located in the Lang Co Bay. This is an ideal place to tast the fresh oysters, the best Vietnamese coffee and admire the local daily lives.

The drinks here are refreshing, though the selection is limited. Seating is basic and the atmosphere is quiet, which is nice if you just want a simple break. The view of the lagoon adds some charm, but overall it’s nothing special beyond a casual drink stop.

Everybody have to visit here. Lovely town after too the mountain

Absolutely gorgeous place with beautiful views and locals fishing. There are some lovely photo opportunities here but some places you need to pay to take photos as the locals have built swings and other wooden installations.

It's absolutely worth coming here! It's full of tourists, but for the good reason that the natural sights are incredible. I did this without a guide, and so i missed out on the story, but you can certainly book guides ahead of time. Even without one, though, you can appreciate the architecture and design, as well as appreciate the beautiful landscape. WARNING! This place is very very hot and also requires you to be able to climb many stairs! It's the same as if it was a major hike. Bring pocari sweat and water!

We stopped at Lap A Lagoon while travelling to Húe and were blown away by the beauty and the serenity of the little town. We arrived quite late in the afternoon after most tourists had left for the day, and enjoyed the stunning views and having the area to ourselves. There’s a lovely restaurant and several coffee shops and cafes looking across the lagoon. It would be a very peaceful place to spend a few days.

For us, it was an unexpected stop. We had a nice cup of coffee there. Afterward, we watched how the oysters were detached and cleaned. It was interesting to see this process up close with our own eyes. For the pearl-lovers, there are some stores there where you can buy jewelry with pearls or jade.

Lap An Lagoon is located west of Lang Co Bay and is famed for the oysters rearing farms for pearls! Most of the tourist buses/coaches will stopby here for a photostop before heading to Hue. During our visit there, the weather was a little gloomy and so we didn't have a good and clear view of the surrounding but was still ok. As we could see the farm houses and workers working in them, harvesting the oysters. And right opposite the lagoon was a row of shophouses, where cafes are located and of course the souvenir shops selling refined and processed pearls which are nice and beautiful (but prices are steep too). But you can just walk around without buying and used their washrooms located right deep inside on the left.
