Ca Mau

Tourism in Cà Mau, the sacred southernmost tip of Vietnam, is an evocative journey into a "paradise between the forest and the sea," where vast mangrove ecosystems meet the resilient spirit of the pioneers. In 2026, the province has launched its ambitious "Cà Mau – Travel Destination 2026" program, headlined by the Cà Mau Cultural Heritage and Tourism Week and the prestigious Cà Mau Shrimp Festival. The natural landscape is a world-class biosphere reserve, anchored by the Cape Cà Mau National Park—where the iconic GPS 0001 coordinate marker stands—and the mystical U Minh Hạ National Park, famous for its flooded cajuput forests and wild honey harvesting. Culturally, the region is a vibrant tapestry of Kinh, Khmer, and Hoa traditions, celebrated through the thunderous Nghinh Ông (Whale Worshipping) Festival in Sông Đốc and the soulful melodies of Đờn ca tài tử, a UNESCO-recognized intangible heritage. Visitors in 2026 can immerse themselves in the "waterborne life" at the Cà Mau Floating Market or explore the ancient rocks of Đá Bạc Island. The culinary experience is a robust convergence of "golden forests and silver seas," featuring the world-renowned Cà Mau Crab (widely considered Vietnam's finest), the unique Grilled Mudskipper, and the salty-sweet Rạch Gốc dried shrimp. From savoring U Minh honey-glazed dishes to witnessing the sunset at the Hà Nội Flag Tower at the Cape, Cà Mau offers a profound, boundary-marking adventure at the very end of the Vietnamese map.
