Cả River Estuary

The Cả, also known as the Lam River, reaches the sea at Cửa Hội on the coast of northern central Vietnam. The river carries water from the uplands through the Nghệ An plain, opening a route between the interior and the Gulf of Tonkin. Offshore, the two peaks of Song Ngư Island stand opposite the river mouth. The meeting of river water and sea marks the edge of the cultivated lowlands around the estuary.
