Ho Coc is a small beach community located in Vietnam's Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, in Xuyen Moc district. It is situated about 125 kilometers South East of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Ho Coc’s waters and beach are pristine and undeveloped and are only rivaled in beauty and charm by the nearby Ho Tram beach.

The trip to Ho Coc takes only about 2 hours from HCMC by car or 90 minutes via the ferry from HCMC to Vung Tau. Ho Coc Beach is expected to follow the development of Ho Tram beach to become a major resort destination in the South of Vietnam

Ho Co Beach is mentioned by the Lonely Planet guide and is described as a "remote and beautiful Beach with golden sands backed by dunes and clear waters which along with the lack of development, make it a draw – particularly on weekdays, when you’ll have the beach largely to yourself".

Also notable in the area apart from the Binh Chau Hot Springs is a 11, 000-hectare rainforest that was designated as a nature reserve in 1975. Most of the larger wildlife was exterminated or moved for safety reasons (most of the elephants were sent to Thailand), but plenty of birds and monkeys can be spotted in the forest.
