If you choose a high-quality passenger car, the fare will range from 150,000 - 250,000 VND/trip depending on the type of seat. You should choose cars to drop off passengers at Tinh Gia bus station or near Hai Hoa beach, then take a taxi or motorbike taxi and travel for about 15-20 minutes to get there.
Summer, especially from May to August, is the most ideal time to visit Hai Hoa. At this time, the weather is sunny and beautiful, with little rain and calm waves, very suitable for tourists to have fun, swim, and relax.
One of the things you cannot miss when coming to Hai Hoa is waking up early to welcome the sunrise and visiting the fish market right on the beach.
The market meets right on the beach from early morning. The laughter and bargaining sounds of buyers and sellers mixed with the sound of waves crashing on the shore create a vivid sound picture.
The people of Hai Hoa fishing village are very simple, cheerful and hospitable. Tourists can freely choose to buy seafood at reasonable prices. If you go to the beach a little later, you can still easily buy fresh seafood from small traders.
Mr. Khoa Hung, a tourist from Hanoi who just had a weekend vacation at Hai Hoa beach, shared: "I woke up at 6 am and walked down to the beach opposite the hotel.
The scene of fishermen pulling nets and classifying fresh seafood in the morning is very impressive. I bought fresh snails and squid at a very reasonable price, then brought them to a nearby restaurant to hire for processing.
Not noisy and bustling like many other famous beaches, Hai Hoa still retains its peaceful beauty with a rustic fishing village rhythm, clear blue beaches and fresh seafood. This is a suitable destination for those who want to temporarily leave the city to enjoy a relaxing vacation in nature.
