The best beaches and attractions in Phu Quoc Island

FUKOCA BEACHES
The first, and for some, the only reason to visit Fukoka is its pristine coastline with several heavenly beaches... They have not yet been fully explored, and it is this that gives the coast of the island a romantic appeal and beauty that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

The beaches of Phukok Island stretch along the coast from north to south. You can only admire them and decide for a long time which one you like the most. In order not to suffer a choice, we suggest paying attention to the best beaches in Fukoka.
Truong Beach. This is a very attractive area with a white sandy beach stretching for 20 km: from Dinh Cau beach before Tau Ru beach... The coastal waters are home to many inhabitants of the deep sea, and the conditions for fishing are ideal. There is an opportunity to watch local fishermen and taste seafood right on the beach.
Ganh Dau Beach located in the north of Phu Quoc Island on the border with Cambodia.

TASTE THE ISLAND ATMOSPHERE
Phu Quoc is famous for two things: beautiful beaches and national cuisine. Particularly famous on the island is the fish sauce "nuoc mam", which has become popular throughout Vietnam and in the world in general. You can watch the process of making the sauce at the factory Phu quoc Fish sauce located near the Duong Dong market. The entrance to the factory is free for everyone, but it is better to take it with a guide who will tell you in detail about all the stages of making the sauce. And get ready for ... the omnipresent fishy spirit. Opening hours from 8.00 to 11.00 and from 13.00 to 17.00... In addition, there is something else to see and taste here: spicy black pepper, with a spicy but rather original flavor. Local farmers organize tours of their plantations for a small fee. You can arrange a walk through the thickets of black pepper at any time of the year, but the best time to visit is from February to July, when the harvest takes place.
Phu Quoc Island has a huge selection of seafood, and they are not only fresh, but also delicious in taste. Caught from the sea and immediately cooked, shrimp, fish and shellfish delight travelers when visiting the island.
Three must-try dishes when traveling to Phu Quoc

Nhum
One of the most bizarre shellfish to try is perhaps nhum, the sea urchin. It is brown and looks like a coconut. There are two options for eating this dish: raw, or after thorough heat treatment. If raw food does not cause discomfort, do not miss the opportunity to taste nhum raw. When you order nhum, the seller cuts the whole nhum in half horizontally like a coconut. After that, sprinkle it with lime juice and spoon out the meat from the shell with a spoon, dip it in wasabi sauce and enjoy. Fresh taste and sweet aroma combined with wasabi sauce and lime sourness - you can hardly resist and refuse the second portion.

Nhong
Phu Quoc is also famous for its nhong fish dish. You can cook it in different ways: fried, boiled, stewed. Nhong fish is also used to make "cha ka" - a cake with fish. A slice of rice cake, vegetables, and fish cake make a good pairing for rolls.
The nhong fish is also a good garnish for a salad. It is used to prepare "goi ka" - fish salad. The secret to a good salad lies in choosing the right fish and making the sauce. The fish must be fresh and the fillets are cut very thinly. Sprinkle lime juice on the fish before you eat it. Then place the fish and some vegetables on a slice of rice cake and dip in the sauce. The sauce is a mixture of garlic, chili, peanuts, lime juice, fish sauce and a little sugar.

Bang kang
Bang Kang (a variety of noodles) - takes on a completely different taste when combined with fish and is considered a specialty traditional cuisine Phucco Islands. Served hot, it is a bowl of noodle soup garnished with thu fish fillets. At ease, you can find this fish in three varieties: boiled, fish meatballs and slices of well-done fillets. Different ways of preparing and serving this fish give this dish a quirky flavor. The most best options Bang Kang can be tasted in a cafe Banh canh lady phung located in a small alley not far from the street Nguyen trung truc.

What to see in Phu Quoc

PAGODA SUNG HUNG
According to the Mahayana, Sung Hung Pagoda is one of the oldest pagodas in Fukuoka. It is located at the foot of a mountain near the center of Duong Dong. There is no exact information about who and when exactly the pagoda was built. The old-timers talk about two different pagodas, which were called "Sung Nghia" and "Hung Nhan" and were erected long before her; then these names merged together, and today all this is called "Sung Hung Pagoda". According to rumors, it was built at the beginning of the 20th century. The pagoda was restored twice: in 1924 and 1960.
The Sung Hung Pagoda has a unique architecture for the ancient pagodas. Its doors are facing north. The pagoda is surrounded by huge trees, and its structure resembles a staircase that gets higher and higher with each step. It has an impressive triangle-shaped gate leading to the Avolokiteshvara Bodhisattva statue (the embodiment of the infinite compassion of all Buddhas or the Goddess of Mercy) in the middle of the courtyard. Inside the meticulously decorated main hall. The altar of the temple is located in the main hall, in which three Buddhas are seated on a dais: Amitabha - in the middle, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva - on the right and Avolokiteshvara Bodhisattva - on the left. Behind the statues is Cao Sanh's famous Flying Dragon.
There are also many other decorations inside the pagoda, such as the "Dai Hong Chung" - a large bell, and many engraved quotes on the philosophy of Chinese Buddhism.
It is quite easy to visit the Sung Hung Pagoda as it is located near the center of Duong Dong. Free admission. The pagoda is open to the public from 7.00 to 17.30.

KAU PALACE
One of the most famous landmarks in Fukoka is located on the west coast of the island. The palace was built relatively recently, in 1937, in honor of Thien Hau, the goddess of the seas. Getting to the palace is worth at least for the picturesque views of the mouth of the Duong Dong River. A special sight awaits those who enter the palace at the end of November (15-16 days of the tenth lunar month according to the Buddhist calendar), when a festival dedicated to Thien Hau is held in the palace.

COCONUT PRISON
Coconut Prison, also known as Phucok Prison, is located in An Thoi City. The name "coconut" originated during the Indo-Chinese War and the rule of French colonists in Vietnam. Then there were four sectors in the prison: "A", "B", "C" and "D"; the prison is believed to have held up to 14,000 inmates. However, after the end of the Indo-Chinese War, most of the prisoners returned home in accordance with the Geneva Agreements.
With the outbreak of the Vietnam War, American troops built a new prison with the same name. V new prison there were separate sectors for men, women and the elderly. Over time, in 1966, another part of the prison was built, intended for Vietnamese soldiers serving their sentences. In the new part of the prison, there were 12 separate sections. Each sector has been subdivided into four more sectors. The prison was guarded very strictly, surveillance was conducted around the clock.
Nowadays, since 1986, the "Coconut Prison" has been recognized as a National Historical Heritage Site and now serves as a place for excursions, being a living testimony to war crimes. Some of the instruments of torture that were once tested on prisoners are kept here to this day. For example, you can see the "Katso Tiger Cage", in which the prisoner was in complete darkness for a long time, and after being released from this tiger cage, the prisoners most often became blind.

MAGIC WELL
Magic well Giếng Ngự located 2 km from An Thoi. The beautiful landscapes of the lake and the verdant mountain slopes of the island undoubtedly cause genuine delight among tourists. On the mountain is a small temple and a pink stone throne known as the "Royal Throne". When approaching the Magic Well, you can see a stele in the place where the "King's Sword" entered, and from where a cool spring came later.
The magic well has not only historical, but also mystical significance, which should not be overlooked by those traveling to Fukok. In the 17th century, fleeing from Ta-son's pursuing troops, King Nguyen and his warriors were exhausted from thirst due to the lack of fresh water. To survive, the king had no choice but to raise his sword to heaven and pray to the Almighty: "If the Almighty still wants to see me king - then, may he send us food and water." As soon as the king thrust his sword into the ground after this prayer, a stream of clear water gushed out from under the ground to everyone's amazement.
Choosing the island of Phukok as a refuge to rest and recover from the defeat in the Tai-Son rebellion, King Nguyen was able to defeat Tyson's troops and after a few years take control of the Saigon-Gia Din region.

SOURCE TRUNG
The 15 km long spring originates in Mount Ham Ninh and flows through the forest thickets, forming waterfalls. Sparkling waterfalls cascading into a green forest undoubtedly complement scenic landscape, presented to the amazed gaze of the traveler. Perhaps the very name of the source, the name Tranh ("picture", "view") comes from the magnificent view of this source and the surrounding area.
After a 15-minute motorbike ride from Duong Dong City, you will find yourself on the Tranh Alley - perfect location for a picnic. You can bring some food with you to rest at the spring, and then go to the forest and watch birds and other representatives of the local flora and fauna, following the winding paths and rocky steps along the stream. After a long walk, during which you can enjoy the singing of birds and the beauty of orchids, you will see Hang Doi Mainsail(Bat Grotto), located in the mountains at an altitude of 200 meters. It is home to beautiful stalactites and could be another hospitable tourist destination. And after an exciting walk, you can relax by plunging into the cool waters of the spring. The cost of visiting the source is VND 30,000.
And be sure to listen to the story about the mysterious 10 kg fish caught in the spring by the locals in 2008. There are strange dots on the head of this fish, which is why its head resembles the head of a monk, and its tail looks like a float on water. They say that this fish is so rare that the locals have not seen anything like it for a long time. Although one foreign tourist offered $ 1,000 for the fish, local tourism executives still display it as an exhibit. So, you can look at it yourself for free.

FISHING VILLAGE HEM NIN
Located 20 kilometers northwest of Duong Dong town, the fishing village of Ham Ninh is renowned for its enchanting scenery and the calm, measured life of local fishermen.
Initially, the inhabitants of the village of Ham Ninh were engaged only in fishing, but recently tourism and the sale of seafood and souvenirs have become the main source of income for the local population.
Visiting Ham Ninh, travelers get a rare chance to taste refreshing healthy drinks and seafood - for example, tincture of ginseng and seaweed, Tram mushroom (a special island mushroom), tincture of seahorse. And, of course, admire the enchanting sunsets, and before returning home, purchase crabs, a bottle of seahorse tincture or seashell souvenirs as a gift to family and friends.

DIVING IN THE WATERS OF ARCHIPELAGO ANTHOI
Archipelago An Thới, located opposite the southern end of Fukuoka, consists of 15 tiny islets, the largest of which is only three kilometers long. Fans of snorkeling and diving, fishing enthusiasts, and those who want to spend time in the form of Robinson Crusoe (there are small fishing villages only on the largest of the islands, all the others are uninhabited) should definitely visit the islands of the archipelago and plunge into the coastal waters. Boats to the islands leave from the pier in the city of An Thoi, but you can always save yourself from looking for the right vessel and book a trip to the archipelago by contacting the hotel administrator. It is important to remember that at the height of the rainy season - from July to September, it is almost impossible to get to the archipelago, the boat service in Fukuoka is seasonal.

Top Travel Agent. This does not oblige you to anything, different travel agents will send you answers and you will get an objective picture of prices. Also, it makes sense to contact Top Travel Agent for those who do not have time to organize their trip.

Thom Beach

Thom Beach located in the north of the island - a very quiet and calm beach, surrounded by thickets of cashews (hazel). You can get here only by a dirt road, the infrastructure is poorly developed, but inexpensive small hotels are still available.

The sea in the beach area Thom Beach small, ebb tides are noticeable.

In the future, it is planned to build a tourist center here.

Cua Can Beach

Beach Kua Kan Beach is located on the west coast of the island between the beaches in the south and in the north. At this point, the Kua Kan River flows into the Gulf of Thailand, forming many shoals with thickets of casuarinas. This place is not very suitable for swimming, with the exception of small sections of the beach.

Vong Beach

Beach Wong Beach the first one seen by guests arriving on the island by water: there is a ferry terminal, where they arrive from the mainland. From the island's capital Doung Dong - 8 km, nearby is the village of Ham Ninh.

The surrounding nature looks much nicer than the beach itself, especially considering that two additional berths are currently under construction.

The sea is shallow here, jellyfish are often found. It is unlikely that you will have a desire to rent a house in this part of the island, but it is quite possible to taste seafood.
