Hồ Cốc
Hồ Cốc is a small beach community located in Vietnam's Bà Rịa–Vũng Tà u province, in Xuyên Mộc District. It is situated about southeast of Hồ Chà Minh City. The trip to Hồ Cốc takes only about 2 hours from HCMC by car or 90 minutes via the ferry from HCMC to Vũng Tà u. Hồ Cốc is expected to follow the development of Hồ Trà m beach as well as the ACDL MGM Hồ Trà m casino project located nearby and become a major resort destination in southern Vietnam. Also notable in the area are hot springs and an rain forest that was designated as a nature reserve in 1975.
