Halong Bay is the jewel in the crown of Vietnam cruise travel destinations. Located approximately 165 kilometres (about 102 miles) East of Vietnam's capital Hanoi, the 150,000 ha (370,658 acre) Halong Bay lies on Vietnam's Northeastern coast in the Gulf of Tonkin. Not only are Halong Bay's approximately 1,600 limestone islands and statuesque pillar islets and outcrops breathtakingly beautiful, the bay is deeply entrenched in Vietnam's history and mythology, and the folklore of the surrounding regions. Indochina Sails exclusive and private pier is situated on Bai Chay Beach. Upon arriving in Ha Long city, visitors will travel along Bai Chay, or "Scorched Beach". Judging by the name visitors may mistakenly think that this is due to dry climate or lack of wind in this area. However, contrary to this interpretation, Bai Chay benefits from calming sea breezes and pleasantly warm water temperatures and is very popular with locals and tourists alike. During the warmer summer and fall months the temperature in Halong Bay averages around 70 - 80 degrees F and the long expanse of sandy beach is filled with swimmers and sunbathers.
