Explore the stunning Điệp Sơn Island nestled in Vân Phong Bay, where you'll find an incredibly unique ocean walkway, a super hot check-in spot for the younger generation.
Điệp Sơn Island – The Ocean's Unique Pathway
Điệp Sơn comprises three small islands: Bịp Island, Giữa Island, and Đuốc Island, nestled in the serene waters of Vân Phong Bay. To reach Điệp Sơn, you'll need to take a boat from Nha Trang, a journey that takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The island emerges as a peaceful oasis amidst the azure sea.

Điệp Sơn Island captivates visitors with its rugged yet enchanting beauty from the moment they set foot, boasting a pristine charm. The highlight of Điệp Sơn Island is its nearly 1km-long sandy pathway on the sea, linking the islands together.


This oceanic pathway is a must-visit spot for every traveler to Điệp Sơn. If you plan to check-in here, be sure to check the tidal schedule beforehand. For instance, from the 1st to the 15th lunar month, the water recedes in the afternoon, whereas after the full moon day, it recedes in the morning. During these times, the pathway is most clearly visible to everyone.




The sea around Điệp Sơn Island is incredibly clear, allowing you to see all the way to the bottom. It's a perfect place for various underwater activities such as swimming, kayaking, canoeing, or simply admiring and capturing the peaceful and romantic scenery on the island.


On the island, you can also enjoy local delicacies like Điệp Sơn pancakes, shrimp and squid pancakes, seafood dishes, etc. All these dishes are prepared and sold by the islanders themselves, using fresh ingredients caught right on the island. The islanders are also very friendly, charming, and hospitable.


However, it's worth noting that Điệp Sơn Island hasn't developed extensively in terms of tourism services, especially accommodation options. The best approach is to visit Điệp Sơn Island during the day and return to Nha Trang in the evening.
Some small things to keep in mind when traveling to Điệp Sơn Island:
- When swimming, be mindful of certain marine creatures such as jellyfish and sea urchins. Avoid touching these creatures if you don't want to get hurt, but also refrain from harming them.
- Please pay attention to preserving the landscape and environment on this pristine island. Collect any waste and take it back to the mainland, rather than discarding it into the sea, to avoid negative impacts on the island.
