When the sun beams its first rays, fishing boats with their fresh catches of seafood return to a beach in the district’s Hai Ly Commune. The time the boats come ashore is also the start of the local seafood market. The market at dawn becomes crowded in no time. Fresh fishes, shrimps, crabs, etc. are displayed on the beach so that local buyers as well as travelers can choose what best pleases them.
