Ba Trai Dao Islet Highlights

Interestingly, there is a legend about the presence of this islet. Once upon a time, a fairy and a poor fisherman fell in love with each other, and she wanted him to be eternal like her. Therefore, she tried to steal the three peaches from Heaven for her man, but her action was caught, unfortunately. Then, the three peaches were turned into three-rock islet. Of course, a legend is a legend, and visitors can choose to believe in it or not, but none can deny that this islet is spectacular and interesting. And, its biggest highlight seems to be the Ba Trai Dao Beach.

Moreover, this beach site is ideal for kayaking to get immersed in peaceful and enchanting nature. You might even notice the rocks, why not enjoy rock climbing? Surely, it is a great idea.
