History of Bay Mau coconut forest
According to locals, Cam Thanh coconut forest has existed for about 200 years. At that time, migrants from the Southwest region brought nipa varieties and planted them in this area. With the combination of water and soil, the tree gradually proliferated, growing into a large forest of about 7 ha. The name Bay Mau coconut forest also comes from that (although now the coconut forest covers an area of up to 100 hectares).

Best time to visit
Traveling to the coconut forest in the dry season is the most suitable time because the forest is (from January to September). At this time, Hoi An is in the summer with a sunny, cool climate so the coconut forest is extremely fresh and pleasant.
If you come to Bay Mau coconut forest around August or September, you will be able to admire the most beautiful coconut forest and enjoy delicious sesame-salted coconut rice. The rest of the year, you can still go to the coconut forest, but you need to pay attention to monitoring the weather to avoid storms, especially around October and November.
