Go Cong Dong houses Tan Thanh beach in the Go Cong sea area, Ong Mao dune, an apple orchard tourist site, one historical and cultural relic at the national level, and 13 others at the provincial level.
Tan Phu Dong, meanwhile, is endowed with the 1,617ha Ngang dune located in Phu Tan commune. It is a natural accretion zone formed with a mangrove ecosystem with rich biodiversity and marine fauna. In addition, Cong dune is the last strip of land of the district facing the sea, located between estuaries and bordering the sea, making it suitable for both aquaculture and seafood exploitation, and eco-tourism development.
Le Thi Hong Tam, Vice Chairwoman of the Go Cong Dong People’s Committee, said the local authorities are focused on luring investment to tourism development, running promotional campaigns, and opening tours.
