charming Cham Island by speedboat |
 |
Lying 19 km offshore from Hoi An, the Cham Islands
(known locally as Cu Lao Cham) feature beautiful seascapes and landscapes.
During the 1960s, Cu Lao Cham was known as “Paradise Island”. Only 25 minutes
by speedboat from Hoi An Town (Cua Dai Quay), it is perfect for a half day trip
with snorkelling or a dive on some beautiful corals, a delicious seafood lunch
on the island, or a walk along the "ecotour" trail |
There are many other interesting attractions for visitors,
including fresh seafood, traditional crafts, swimming and sightseeing. Recently
important archaeological remains were found and these are now exhibited in a
small museum near the main jetty.
Today the Cham islands are also a Marine Protected Area
(MPA) because of their many important marine habitats, especially beaches and
coral reefs, and rich biodiversity. The MPA includes eight islands; the largest
island Hon Lao, features magnificent beaches and forests, the township of Bai
Lang, a small harbour, a traditional fishing village (Bai Lang), temples,
shrines and a pagoda.
