About 17 km northeast of Vinh you'll find the Vietnamese beach vacation spot of Cua Lo.
There's some fine beach here, a bit reminiscent of the beaches around Da Nang, and of course, a long line of sea food restaurants to choose from. Unfortunately all the accommodation is on the inland side of the beach road.
This whole stretch of Vietnam's north central coast is lined with beach after beach, but, perhaps due to the cooler weather, they lack the popularity of the beaches further south -- especially among foreign travellers, who pretty much bar the entire region.
There's nothing wrong with the beaches here, but yes, the water is cooler than the glistening waters off Phu Quoc Island.
We wouldn't recommend going out of your way to visit here, but if you happen to be in Vinh anyway (from where, in the opinion of one of our writers, just about anywhere is an improvement), and you hear the sea beckoning, don't hesitate to make a day-trip or overnight out of it.
It's a virtual ghost town in the winter months, but in summer things really pick up, and the spot is well-known for it's massage parlours and prostitutes. But, as seedy beach towns go, its hardly Patong beach, and a beach is a beach.
