Con Co is a sacred frontier island of the homeland, lying about thirty kilometers off the Quang Tri coast. Once a heroic battleground in the anti-American resistance, this small island held its ground amid endless bombs, entering songs of praise. Today, Con Co wears the fresh green of primeval forest, and crystal-clear waters embrace its vivid coral reefs. Visitors can dive to view the coral, stroll around the old lighthouse, cycle around the island and savor fresh stone crab and sea snails. It is a pristine gem gradually opening its doors to those who love discovery.
