Ca Mau: the southern tip, with Bac Lieu

Resolution 202/2025/QH15 merged Bac Lieu into Ca Mau, giving a province of 7,942.39 km² and 2,606,672 people — the least populous of the delta's new units. Bac Lieu is now a ward name. The Can Tho–Ca Mau expressway opened end to end on 19 January 2026, which has shortened the drive from Can Tho; Mekong ASEAN reported 8.1 million visitors to Ca Mau in 2025.

Two separate bodies manage the southern tip. The tourist area board runs the visitor site at the cape in Dat Mui commune, and its website lists the sights and the forest routes it sells. The national park covers the mangroves and coastal waters around it and is a Ramsar site; VietnamPlus dates its Ramsar listing to 2012, while other references give 2013, so we do not quote a year.

The national park also forms part of the Mui Ca Mau biosphere reserve recognised by UNESCO. We could not open a UNESCO page for it on the check date.

The tourist-area site is the most practical official page for the cape. Its menus cover the sights inside the tourist area, the forest routes it runs through the mangroves, an electric-cart service, local products and a news section. Recent notices on the check date included a weekly flag-raising and flag-lowering ceremony at the Hanoi flagpole on the cape, a 2026 national programme held there, and the area's recognition as a green-tourism site of the Mekong Delta for 2026.

Prices and departure times for the boats and carts were not shown in a form we could check. Use the site's contact page or ask at the gate, and treat any fare quoted by a third party as a rough guide only.

The official sites say little about practical access: boat departures to the cape, prices and opening hours are not posted in a form we could verify. The national park site blocks automated reading, so we checked only that it loaded.

We could not confirm which flights serve Ca Mau in 2026. Do not plan around a route you saw in an old article; check the airline websites on the transport operators page instead.
