- Monkey Island, Cat Ba, Hai Phong
By: iloveu | - Money Island isnt large and is home to two small beaches, many moneys, four lonely park rangers charged with protecting the creatures, who drink at the bar of a night, and hotel staff who cook the set meals offered at the hotel. Activities stretch to kayaking, swimming and a near-verticle hike over the mountain to the other beach. Though difficult (its less a walk than an uphill scramble over boulders), the views make it worth the effort. (Hint: a couple of beers first might help you)
