Ba Trái Ðào Beach, it costs 10 hours by cruise from Bãi Cháy
Tourist Wharf. It has that name as Ba Trái Ðào Beach (the three
peaches), features three small sand beaches embracing small
islands. These islands, seen from afar, resemble three peaches.

Legend
has it, that fairies escaped from Heaven and came here for
sight-seeing and swimming. The youngest fairy, who was very pretty
and virtuous, fell in love with a young fisherman. The young fairy
stole three peaches from Heaven for him, that if he ate, would
give him eternal life, allowing them to live together forever. Bút
while she waited for him on the island, the King of the Heavens
discovered the robbery and turned the peaches into stone island. Chastised, the young fairy had to return.
