Why Nam O Beach is special ?
According to locals, the name “Nam O” means the south of O District (a very old location). The Nam O village used to support itself by producing firecrackers until the government imposed a ban on them in 1995. Nowadays, the villagers make nuoc mam (fish sauce) and goi ca. The latter is a kind of Vietnamese sushi: fresh, raw fish fillets marinated in a special sauce and coated in a spicy powder. It is served with fresh vegetables in rice-paper rolls. You will find it for sale on the beach in the summer, or look out for it in the village.
Developed in the early 1960s, Nam O Beach is frequented by residents. Some stilt houses have now been built for tourism purposes.
