Why go
Why Go Here
Hang Rai is a unique coral rock beach deep inside Nui Chua National Park — only accessible by foot or boat. It's a protected sea turtle nesting area; you may spot turtles coming ashore in summer. Pristine, barely touched landscape.
Timing note
When Not To Go
Rainy season (September-November) — trail dangerous, inaccessible. High tide at midday can cover the rock beach.
Avoid disappointment
Common Mistakes
- Not registering with Nui Chua rangers first — a guide is required
- Wearing flip-flops — sharp coral rocks need protective footwear
- Disturbing turtle nests — heavy fines
Field notes
Practical Tips
- Contact Nui Chua ranger station to book a tour (guide is mandatory)
- Bring hard-soled protective footwear, not sandals
- Sea turtle nesting season: May-August (lucky to witness)
- Bring plenty of water — no water sources along the trail
