Titov Island (Đảo Ti Tốp)

Titov Island is located in Ha Long Bay, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province, about 7–8 km southeast of Bai Chay Tourist Port. Titov Island has a crescent-shaped sandbank. The sand here is washed clean and white by the tides all year round. At the end of the 19th century, the island was called Cat Nang.

On November 22, 1962, President Ho Chi Minh and Soviet astronaut Gherman Stepanovich Titov visited the island. To commemorate that trip, President Ho named the island Titov Island. It is an island with a steep bank— a sloping bank with a flat, white sandbank right at the foot. At the foot of the island is a crescent-shaped beach that hugs it. The sandbank is small but very airy and quiet, with clean and clear water all year round. Cruise ships often stop here for tourists to go ashore to swim or climb to a deck halfway up the mountain and another at the top to enjoy the view from above. Currently, this beach has a bar, swimsuit rental, lifebuoy rental, and fresh water showers. There are also jet ski and parachute rental services. Fresh water is transported from the mainland by the Bay Management Board.

Today, Titov Island is a favorite stopover that attracts many tourists to swim and conquer Titov Peak to admire the panoramic view of Ha Long Bay from above. To visit and stop here, tourists can book either an overnight Ha Long cruise tour with a 2-day or 3-day itinerary, or a daily departing Ha Long tour with a 6-hour sightseeing itinerary.
