A unique ancient rock beach
Co Thach Beach is located in Tuy Phong district, Binh Thuan province, about 300km from Ho Chi Minh City. Walking along the coast for a while, you will come across a large rocky beach, gathering thousands of stones and pebbles with all kinds of flattened round shapes, large and small sizes, blue, red, white colors, etc The different gold is called the seven-colored stone by the locals.
Originally rocks located deep in the seabed were eroded by ocean currents and tides over a hundred years, rock chips pushed ashore formed a colorful rock beach with different veins. Under the sun and the waves of the sea continuously pulling ashore, the rocks shine with sparkling dots like pearls. These stones are constantly being pushed up from the seabed, seemingly never stopping.
Standing in front of the seven-colored rocks are rugged rocks stretching towards the sea with all kinds of bizarre shapes, hidden in many mysterious anecdotes that have not yet been answered. These are strongly eroded sedimentary rocks mixed with pebbles to form a special attraction only in this place.
Along the length of the coastline of the South Central coast, only the Co Thach sea in Tuy Phong - Binh Thuan has such a unique rocky beach. Perhaps in the past, a poet when visiting the sea here could not help but be dumbfounded and interested in this scene and gave it the name "Co Thach" (ancient stone).

Fascinated by the "moss hunting" season
After the Lunar New Year, around February and March every year, Co Thach beach is covered with moss again, waiting until the bright sun shines in and gradually turns yellow. This time is the most ideal time to start the journey of "moss hunting".
The moss stem is as soft as long hair that loosens to hug the stone, and when the tide recedes, it gently winds with the water. The clear Co Thach Sea, in the midst of the blue sky and blue water, further highlights the beauty of the mysterious moss beach. As long as you are a person who loves nature, you want to once admire the scene that touches his heart with your own eyes.
Co Thach blue moss has created a lot of inspiration for amateur and professional photographers to create many surreal photos. However, not everyone who comes here is lucky enough to take beautiful mossy images. Moss only appears when the tide has just receded, if the water is too large, it will be difficult to shoot, and if the water is shallow, the moss is dry, not shiny, and smooth. Beautiful mossy beaches are often in places with many rapids, moving out quite slippery and dangerous.
