 At time of press, there are virtually no tourist facilities at Cape Ca Mau National Park. Most tourists charter speedboats and day-trip from Ca Mau City. If you want to overnight in the par area, then the alternatives are staying at the guest house of the park (with very poor facilities and service) or at homestay with local residents. There is a floating restaurant off-shore of Cape Ca Mau that serves seafood or cafe for day-trippers.
