The beach was voted by CNN as one of the 8 wonders of this island. Lao Mai Beach is located in the Dai Truan volcanic area. Thousands of years ago, when the volcano erupted, lava flowed down the coast, along with the impact of sea water and climate, the rock formations here were eroded, forming long cracks and trenches. Every year, in the spring from February to May, the beautiful scenery of Lao Mai beach attracts photographers to come and compose. Moss and algae cover the rocks with a vibrant green color. Covering nearly 2 km of rock, the contrast of moss and ocean colors makes for an interesting combination for artistic photos. After this period, the moss will turn white, brown and die off as the weather starts to warm up. So, the best time to visit the green rocks in Lao Mai suggested by local residents is from March to May.
