Titop beach

Somewhat off the beaten path in Ha Long Bay is a little beach called Titop beach. It is very very tiny and you're able to climb up the mountain to get a full view of the bay. There's an extra entrance fee. Our tour guide was insistent on us going. I have to say that although it was beautiful, it was not a "must see." Also, the changing rooms were gross and stinky. If you go to Ha Long Bay and have a limited amount of time, this is a place you can definitely skip.

It took us almost 3 hours to get to Ha Long Bay from Hanoi because there are virtually no freeways, so all tourists have to take local roads to get to this famed bay. Worth the trip though, it was gorgeous as expected!
