What is Trau Dam that makes tourists so passionate? Definitely because the cliffs are uniquely shaped. On a rocky cliff stretching out to the sea, there are two large boulders that are pinched together like a pair of seagulls wrapped in tangerines.
Do you know? Legend has it that this place is associated with the unjust love story of Trau and Cau, although they love but cannot be around because they are brothers from the same parents. Sadly, the young man left his homeland and lived in seclusion to death, and she was still faithful to the cliffs and waited in despair and sowed herself into the water. The place where she left the body was named Dam Trau beach since then. Lying on a windy beach one way, it will make you unable to stop lingering about the sad love story of the couple that day.
