Phu Quoc Island’s 9 Most Beautiful Beaches
Vietnam’s largest island is a tropical paradise with so much seafood and a beautiful coastline. While some are located in vibrant areas of the island, while others are tucked away deep in remote fishing villages surrounded by lush forests, they still have one thing in common: their breathtaking scenery and rich adventures. Taste the island’s delicacies and visit historic landmarks, but also be sure to check out these beautiful beaches for an unforgettable tropical vacation in Vietnam.
9 Baikan Beach
Bai Khem Beach is easily the most beautiful beach in Phu Quoc. This small coastline in the southern part of the island is characterised by soft white sand beaches, stunning turquoise waters and a peaceful atmosphere. The hills and tall trees surrounding the beach amplify its scenery, while its less crowded shores make it a great place to enjoy relaxation and exciting activities such as swimming, snorkeling and watching the sunset in Phu Quoc.
8 Gandao Beach
Ganh Dau Beach, located in the north of Phu Quoc Island, is a less crowded beach with stunning natural beauty. The most attractive features of this hidden paradise are its soft sandy beaches, stunning blue waters and lush surrounding forests, although it is unique in many other ways. Part of the beach consists of several rocks where people and (sometimes) birds can relax. Activities such as swimming and snorkeling are must-do things here, and on a clear day, you can even catch a glimpse of the neighboring Cambodian archipelago from this beach, as it is close to the border between the two countries.
7 long beach
Long Beach is arguably the most popular beach and busiest tourist area in Phu Quoc. The beach stretches for 20 kilometers and is characterized by fine sand, surrounding palm trees and pleasant waters. There are also resorts, shops, restaurants and bars along the coastline to ensure holidaymakers have everything they want nearby.
6 holy beach
Sao Beach is Vietnam’s picturesque coastline, known for its soft white sand, abundant surrounding vegetation and crystal clear waters. While the scenery is one thing to enjoy on the beach, the expansive coastline ensures that vacationers always have their own place to enjoy relaxing moments on the soothing sand. The stunning shallow waters are also always ready to welcome holidaymakers into its warm embrace and ensure they enjoy activities such as swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, kitesurfing and fishing.
5 Dai Beach
Located on the west side of the island, Day Beach stretches for 15 kilometers and features white powdery sand, crystal clear turquoise waters and lush forests nearby, providing the perfect atmosphere for a scenic and memorable vacation, swimming and snorkeling.
4 Head Beach
Vung Bau Beach is a lesser-known beach in Phu Quoc, but one of the best on the island. Located in the northwest part of the island, the beach is characterized by the surrounding lush jungle, crystal clear waters and endless bright skies. Its coastline has soft sands where vacationers can lay in the sun for a while before diving into the water for a refreshing dip. The remoteness of the beach ensures that those who visit don’t have to put up with too many crowds to relax or engage in more activities such as kayaking, snorkeling and fishing.
3 Rahvim Beach
Rach Vem Beach is ideal for nature lovers, fishing and swimming enthusiasts. It is also known as Starfish Beach because of the abundance of starfish that can be found in the water and on the shore. Located in the peaceful fishing village of Rach Vem, holidaymakers can enjoy plenty of seafood and views of crystal clear waters and lush surrounding forests.
2 Dongdong Beach
Duong Dong Beach is one of the most secluded coastlines in Phu Quoc Island. While the lush surrounding forest is one of its attractive features, the turquoise waters and soft white sand beaches are the most attractive. Unlike many other beaches in Phu Quoc, Duong Dong Beach is usually uncrowded, allowing holidaymakers to enjoy activities such as swimming and snorkeling undisturbed. Sunsets here are also great. In addition, visiting Duong Dong Beach is also an opportunity to visit Dinh Cau Rock – a small temple on a uniquely shaped rock formation next to the beautiful sea.
1 Caucan Beach
Cau Can Beach is ideal for travelers seeking nature and plenty of water sports. The beach can be difficult to get to, but travelers who get here will be glad they did. From the peaceful atmosphere to the pristine white sand, crystal clear waters and beautiful surrounding trees, Cau Can Beach has everything one could desire for a beach. Exciting activities such as fishing, kayaking and watching the sunset are things to look forward to in this remote paradise.
