Dat Tham Beach

Dat Tham Beach is a well-maintained beach located in Côn Đảo, known for its beautiful corals situated just 100m away from the shore. This isolated beach is characterized by its peaceful ambiance and a few mangrove trees. However, it's noted that entering the ocean can be challenging.

The beach is accessible through a trail in the forest from The National Park. Tickets can be purchased from the gate, after which visitors can park their bikes at the front end of the forest and walk down the trail to reach the beach. The trail is approximately 3km long one way, and it's recommended to be well-prepared with water and snacks. The ticket seller provides a map with a hotline, but it's important to note that phone signal may be lost upon entering the forest. Despite this, the walking path is clear and it's hard to get lost.

Dat Tham Beach: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, June 9, 2026
Today is a poor day for a visit to Dat Tham Beach, so it is best to make other plans. Expect periods of heavy rain throughout the day, which will keep the skies dark and the shore feeling damp. The winds are quite strong and blustery, making for choppy conditions on the water, which is definitely not ideal for swimming despite the warm water. With a max air temperature of 30.3 °C and a sea temperature of 29.9 °C, it remains warm, but the combination of rain and brisk winds makes the beach unpleasant. If you do head out, please be aware that the UV Index is 8.5, which is quite high, so protection is necessary even through the clouds. Stay safe and dry until the weather settles.
