As far as\u00a0reasons to visit Vietnam\u00a0go, its beaches are far less known than Vietnam\u2019s other attractions \u2014 but that\u2019s quickly changing, as formerly sleepy fishing villages have seen far more moolah coming in from tourists than from the day\u2019s catch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With over 2,000 miles of coastline, it was inevitable that Vietnam\u2019s beaches, in places like Nha Trang,\u00a0Mui Ne\u00a0and Da Nang would finally rise in the rankings of hot beach destinations, alongside established places like Phuket and Boracay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s only fitting that an island named after a famous Russian cosmonaut offers a majestic 360-degree view of\u00a0Ha Long Bay\u00a0at its peak and a compact but tourist-friendly beach at its base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cTi Top\u201d is the closest Vietnamese approximation to\u00a0Gherman Titov<\/a>\u2019s name. Titov was the\u00a0second man in space<\/a>, having spent a whole day in orbit in 1961 aboard\u00a0Vostok II<\/a>. Titov visited Vietnam and Ha Long Bay on\u00a0Ho Chi Minh<\/a>\u2019s request in 1962, and the former Cat Nang Island was renamed in his honor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After making the 400-step climb to the viewing deck and back, finish your visit with a few hours\u2019 swimming or sunning at the beach \u2014 a touristy 130-yard stretch of sand with deck chairs and drinks sellers. The white-sand beach is surprisingly clean, as the favorable currents sweep any pollution away from the island.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
