A fascinating drop of land in the East Sea, Phu Quy is yet another of Vietnam’s previously ‘unknown’ islands that’s recently opened its doors to domestic and foreign travelers. A flat, green island rising gently to two volcanic peaks, Phu Quy is very isolated – far out in the ocean, 120km east of Phan Thiet on the mainland.
About 120km east of Phan Thiet, Phu Quy Island is way out there, all on its own in the East Sea. Đảo Phú Qúy, which means ‘Island of Precious Riches’ or ‘Rich and Precious Isle’ in Vietnamese, has only recently opened to tourism.
There are many reasons to visit Phu Quy including stunning seascapes, remote natural beauty, and rustic charm. Think big bays, volcanic-rock cliffs, crystal-clear waters, sacred sites, flourishing fruit orchards, and wild green forests. Hikers and snorkelers will be in heaven here, as there are viewpoints to climb to and coral reefs to explore.

14:00: Visit Lang Duong aquarium: Also known as Lang Duong Fish Pond or Ganh Hang Dam, this abandoned ‘fishery’ is now an informal aquarium. Long ago, stone walls were built to capture seawater, but trap small fish and shrimp. Walk through the low walls to explore the ruins, spotting small sea creatures along the way.
15:00: Ganh Hang impresses visitors by a steep cliff standing close to the sea, all year round the waves crash into white foam creating a majestic scene, while Bai Nho right at the foot of the hill fascinates people. Viewed by a small white crescent-shaped sand beach that is smooth and pure is extremely poetic.
The seawater at Bai Nho - Ganh Hang is not only as blue as the sky but also clear, allowing you to admire the beautiful coral reefs on the seabed even when standing on the shore. On the sandy beach, it is adorned with crude black cliffs with many strange shapes reaching out to the sea to create an extremely wild and airy scene.
Take your time to enjoy the view and swimming.
