Cát Hải serves as the main gateway to Cát Bà Island, with its port handling ferries from Hai Phong and other points. The district is a vibrant hub where visitors can watch fishing boats unload their catch, browse local markets selling seafood and handicrafts, and sample fresh fish at waterfront restaurants. Though less scenic than the national park, Cát Hải offers an authentic glimpse into island life and is a convenient base for exploring the rest of Cát Bà.
