SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES AT DAM TRAU BEACH

Located about 12–14 km from the center of Con Dao town and close to Co Ong Airport, Dam Trau Beach offers convenient access for travelers. It is the only place in Vietnam where visitors can swim and take “check-in” photos with planes landing right overhead — a unique and fascinating experience, especially for photography enthusiasts and explorers.

In addition to its ideal seaside relaxation space, Dam Trau Beach is perfect for outdoor activities such as strolling along the shore, team-building, or simply resting in a hammock under the shade of casuarina trees, enjoying the fresh sea breeze.

Nearby, visitors can walk to Small Dam Trau Beach — a more secluded, quiet, and untouched stretch just minutes away by foot from the main beach. This is an ideal spot for those seeking privacy and a closer connection to nature.
