Nui Chua: a safe haven for nesting sea turtles

The “sea turtle maternity ward” is the affectionate nickname for the beaches north of My Hoa Village in Nui Chua National Park, Khanh Hoa Province. It is one of the few places on mainland Viet Nam where sea turtles still regularly come ashore to lay eggs.
