Cua Lo Beach in central Vietnam shows two traditional fishing methods. Visitors can see how local people work with the sea and learn about their daily life.

Fishermen wade into the water and walk backward, pressing a dome‑shaped net called a nhui, attached to a long bamboo handle, against the seabed to catch ruoc. The backward‑walking lets the current push the tiny crustaceans into the mesh and needs stamina, dexterity and good knowledge of tide patterns.

In late October, Nguyen Dinh Binh, 60, and his two sons harvested nearly 100 kg of ruoc in about five hours. They sell fresh ruoc for $0.80‑$1.20 per kilogram.

Traditional shore‑seine fishing, known as keo luoi rung, uses a net hundreds of meters long that is laid offshore in a U‑shape. Teams of fishermen pull ropes backward across the sand to haul the net in, and a single haul often takes more than two hours.

Visitors can watch the whole process—from setting the offshore nets to pulling the fish onto the sand—and can buy the catch directly. This makes the fishing activities a key attraction of Cua Lo Beach.
