Thanh Lan Island still retains its pristine beauty with a rich forest and marine ecosystem, and is the "bright pearl" of Quang Ninh tourism.
Thanh Lan Island , in Thanh Lan commune, is the largest island in Co To district with an area of 27 km2, about 4 km from the large Co To island.
Tourists can travel here by speedboat from Cai Rong port. Or from Tuan Chau international tourist port or Ao Tien port (Van Don district). If traveling from Ao Tien port, the travel time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes to Co To. Then from Co To, it takes about 20 minutes by boat to Thanh Lan.
From afar, looking from the sea, Thanh Lan looks like a green oasis in the middle of the sea. The roads and new houses on the island seem to highlight the change and rare peace of the island. On the island, there are many attractive tourist spots such as Ba Chau lagoon, Hai Quan beach, C76 beach... These beaches are quite wild, not as crowded with tourists as on Co To Lon island. Therefore, there are no hotels on the island, only a few motels of the locals.

Must-see attractions on Thanh Lan Island
Navy Beach
Hai Quan Beach is one of the famous beaches on Thanh Lan Island. The beach is located at the end of the island, considered the farthest from the pier. Because of its wild beauty, this place has attracted many tourists. Hai Quan Beach is known by many people because it is located on the road, so it is very convenient.
You can swim here or walk and take a walk. The fresh air, full of the smell of the sea will make you feel peaceful. If you search on Google Map, you will see an image showing a small bridge extending from the trail to the sea. On the way, in front of the army barracks gate, you will also see a bridge like that. But that is not the Navy beach yet! You will have to go a little further to get there.
C76 Beach
C76 Beach on Thanh Lan Island is located behind a barracks. The road to C76 Beach is quite difficult and arduous because of the rocky terrain. If you are the driver, you need to have a steady hand. You have to pass through the barracks area with many sniffer dogs and a small trail to get there.
C76 Beach consists of many connected wing-shaped beaches. They are separated by rocky beaches, divided into different beaches. The majestic and equally peaceful scenery will make you feel extremely impressed. Don’t forget to “pose” and take beautiful photos when you come here!
Ba Chau Beach
Ba Chau Beach is also known by many people as Dong Beach. The road to get here is also quite difficult, just like the road to C76 Beach. Ba Chau Beach on Thanh Lan Island has an extremely beautiful arc. Hugging the sea are winding sand strips that look extremely poetic.
Clearly visible in the landscape are the lush green grass carpets and poetic purple flower bushes. In the afternoon, the water often rises to half the sandbank, the afternoon sun shines down making the sea even more sparkling. Every time the sun sets, the scenery suddenly becomes quiet and looks breathtakingly beautiful.
Mai Cong Dam Jellyfish Factory
Jellyfish is considered one of the economic sources that bring high income to Thanh Lan islanders. On average, a jellyfish season usually lasts 3 months. After being caught from the sea, jellyfish will be sold to manufacturers. To understand more, visit Mai Cong Dam jellyfish factory to discover those interesting things.
After being cleaned, the jellyfish is soaked in salt and rotated to reduce viscosity. The jellyfish is soaked in a filter tank for the last time for about a day. After that, they are put into plastic bags with salt and placed in sealed wooden crates. The packaging process is somewhat complicated but thanks to that, it has created conditions for a lot of labor.
Island cuisine
Coming to Thanh Lan Island, you will enjoy fresh seafood dishes. Some typical seafood are sea urchins, jellyfish, sea cucumbers, and horseshoe crabs. There are almost no restaurants or eateries on the island. Visitors can book a homestay to cook. Or buy seafood to cook themselves. In addition, you also have the opportunity to visit a jellyfish processing factory, catch snails, catch oysters, etc. These are the main jobs of the islanders.
