- Discovering Lap An Lagoon: Central Vietnam’s Oyster Kingdom
Spanning over 800 hectares at the base of the Bach Ma mountain range, Lap An Lagoon (also known as An Cu Lagoon) creates a mesmerizing mirror reflecting cloud-draped peaks. At low tide, a stunning white sand pathway reveals itself across the middle of the lagoon, inviting travelers to stroll between glassy jade-green waters.
Celebrated as Central Vietnam’s premier oyster sanctuary, the lagoon nurtures sweet, plump oysters grown on rustic floating bamboo frameworks. Your driver can escort you to authentic floating eateries where you can sample fresh oysters grilled with scallion oil and crushed roasted peanuts (hau nuong mo hanh), rich cheese-baked oysters, and delicate ginger-steamed baby squid.
