Phú Quốc National Park

Phú Quốc National Park

Phú Quốc National Park reveals the island's greener side: forested hills, tropical vegetation and opportunities to explore established nature routes. The appeal is the change of pace from the beach, with shade, birdsong and a landscape that feels very different from the resort coast. Access varies by route and conditions.

Before you goChoose an established route and ask about access before setting out.

Bãi Dài

Bãi Dài

Bãi Dài stretches along the island's northwest, where sandy shoreline meets a coast of resorts and tropical greenery. Come for an open view of the sea and a relaxed beach walk, perhaps as part of a northern-island outing. Beach access points and available facilities differ along the coast.

Rạch Vẹm (Starfish Beach)

Rạch Vẹm combines a fishing-village setting with shallow coastal water and the chance to see starfish in their natural habitat. Wooden walkways and waterside eateries add to the atmosphere. Wildlife sightings depend on the season and conditions, so enjoy the landscape without expecting a guaranteed encounter.

Before you goPlan around the weather. Leave wildlife undisturbed and take litter home.

Gành Dầu Cape

Gành Dầu Cape

At the northwestern tip of Phú Quốc, Gành Dầu offers a coastal pause with fishing boats, rocky edges and broad sea views. It is a place to slow down rather than fill an itinerary with activities. Combine a gentle wander with a simple meal, then leave time to enjoy the journey back.

Hộ Quốc Pagoda

Hộ Quốc Pagoda

Hộ Quốc Pagoda sits in a coastal setting where temple buildings, broad steps and sea views create a quieter stop in the south. Take time to look at the architecture and the landscape rather than treating it only as a photo stop. It remains a place of worship, so visit with consideration.

Before you goDress respectfully and keep voices low during your visit.

Bãi Khem

Bãi Khem

Bãi Khem forms a sheltered-looking curve of pale sand along the southern coast, with greenery and resort developments behind the beach. It works well as a slower break during a day exploring the south. Public access, facilities and the experience of the shoreline differ by the point you choose to enter.
