Mid-January to early February is the "golden" time for tourists to "hunt" for green moss at Co Thach beach. This year, this time coincides with the Lunar New Year, which is very favorable for tourists to make a memorable and interesting journey. Green moss clings to the rocks, creating a beautiful ink painting. However, to fully enjoy this majestic scene, you must come to Co Thach at low tide, the mossy rock beach becomes more beautiful than ever with a soft, velvety green color. At that time, the green color of the moss resonates with the yellow sunlight to create an extremely eye-catching, fresh, and vibrant picture.

The green color is smooth and soft like velvet.

The moss here appears naturally, without human intervention. Patches of green moss cling tightly to large and small rocks. The green color is fresh and soft, as if it wants to protect the rocks it clings to. Therefore, the rock-moss painting can make you so fascinated that you forget the way home. The moss season in Co Thach is usually only about a month, but according to locals, the thickness or thinness of the moss growing on the rocks, whether it is green or not depends on the weather. If the weather is stable, it lasts longer, about two months.

When it's moss season, the atmosphere at Co Thach beach is bustling.

When the moss season comes, the atmosphere in Co Thach becomes bustling. Not only do young people from inside and outside the province flock here, but the green moss also creates a lot of inspiration for amateur and professional photographers to create many beautiful photo sets. According to the sharing of photographers, the moss field in Co Thach appears beautiful in the photos, but "moss hunting" is not easy. You need to pay attention to the water level during the day. Because if the water level rises too high, it will cover all the layers of green moss, and if the water level falls too low, the moss fields will lose their inherent smoothness. If you want to have beautiful photos and see the most standard moss color, you should come in the afternoon, when the sun is about to set or when the sun has just risen in the east.

However, when taking photos and moving around the beaches, because the moss is very slippery and wet, if you are not careful, you can easily slip and fall. Visitors should go barefoot and not step on the moss. In addition, visitors need to raise awareness of protecting the landscape environment, not picking moss, trampling, or littering to contribute to preserving the inherent beauty of the moss beach.

When the sun rises, you can go along the coast to visit Nam Hai Ong Lang, the national historical relic of Binh An family or walk up to the more than 100-year-old Co Thach pagoda. From this position, you can take in the view of Bay Mau rock beach and admire the vast sea and sky with its own unique beauty, a truly relaxing feeling for a new day that not every place has.
