The most accessible of the northern beaches, Cua Can is about 11km from Duong Dong. It remains mercifully quiet during the week, but can get busy at weekends. Just south of here is Ong Lan, with a series of sandy bays sheltered by rocky headlands. There are several midrange resorts in this area which are popular with those wanting to get away from it all.
A ride through the villages around Cua Can is interesting, with the road crossing the river several times on rickety wooden bridges.
