CNTraveler’s listings are based on the reviews of travel experts and editors.
According to CNTraveler, located off the Southern Coast of Vietnam, Con Dao is a smaller island with very little commercial development. The island possesses quiet and long beaches with soft sand. The beaches are great for light water sports like SUP and kayaking – but are just a short kayak away from a beautiful reef for snorkelling.
The downtown area has a cute seaside atmosphere with little restaurants. For those who are interested in exploring history, Con Dao Prison is a destination not to be missed.

CNTraveler especially recommended watching the turtles hatch. “On the neighbouring island, you can head over at night and stay at the ranger station, where you will be informed when they spot a mother turtle laying her eggs”, noted the magazine.
