Ask for the coordinates of Vietnam's southernmost point and you will get an answer with an expiry date. Đất Mũi is not standing still. Silt washed out of the Mekong system and dragged along this coast settles on the flats here, pushing the land sixty to eighty metres further into the sea each year and laying down more than a hundred and twenty hectares of new ground annually. The commune at the end of the country is, quite literally, still under construction.

Vietnamese maps call the cape Mũi Cà Mau; an older name, Mũi Bãi Bùng, is franker about the raw material, since bãi bùng means the muddy shoal. In 2015 surveyors placed the furthest southern land at roughly 8°33' north, 104°50' east, out at Khai Long beach in Xóm Rẫy hamlet. That...

The commune has an unusual geography: water on three sides, and it is not the same water. East of the point lies the South China Sea, which Vietnamese call Biển Đông, the East Sea. West of it lies the Gulf of Thailand. The two run on different clocks. Along this stretch the tide ...

For most of its history the cape was reached by boat. The Hồ Chí Minh Highway changed that with its final leg, the 51.3-kilometre Năm Căn–Đất Mũi section: a roadbed seven and a half metres wide carrying six metres of pavement, built for more than 3,540 billion đồng. At the end of...

Daily life follows the water rather than the road. Houses string out along a tangle of creeks and canals, and the economy is drawn straight from the brackish edge. Growers raise milk oysters — hàu sữa — at a commercial yield of around two hundred tonnes a year, and the newest mud...

Accretion is only half the ledger. The eastern flank erodes, and in 2011 it eroded badly enough that Vietnamese newspapers began asking openly whether Mũi Cà Mau could be lost. In places the sea cut two kilometres inland. Concrete piles from an eighteen-billion-đồng revetment end...
