It also offers a shortcut to famous attractions in Phu Yen such as Ganh Da Dia, O Loan Lagoon, Mang Lang Church, and Tam Giang Dam.

Green Haven Farm

Green Haven Farm is located on Phuoc Tan - Bai Nga road towards Vung Ro, approximately 2km away from Dien Cape. This road is newly opened at the foot of Ca Pass leading to Tuy Hoa Airport. The path to the farm is one of the routes with pristine beauty, perfect for adventurers.

Mon Beach

Located about 35km southeast of Tuy Hoa, where a lighthouse shines every night, aiding ships crossing the sea and entering Vung Ro Bay. This is where the beauty of nature converges with forests, sea, streams, and hills.

Rock Plateau

Rock Plateau, also known as Rock Plateau, is a famous landscape of Phu Yen province, about 40 km from the center of Tuy Hoa city. To reach Rock Plateau, tourists depart from Tuy Hoa city along National Highway 1A for about 30 km, then turn right at Chi Thanh town and head east for about 12 km.

The first impression for tourists setting foot here is the unique towering black stone pillars, resembling a giant beehive peacefully lying by the seaside. Looking out from the cliffs, one sees the tranquil scenery of a vast sea with boats gently bobbing on the waves.

Roof Island

Roof Island is likened to Robinson Island belonging to An Hai commune, Tuy An district, Phu Yen province. Although not far from the mainland, this is definitely an interesting sightseeing spot to explore the pristine beauty of Phu Yen that few people know about. The ideal time for a journey to Roof Island is from March to August each year, as the weather is calm and the sea is peaceful during this time.

Visiting Roof Island, tourists will be overwhelmed by its pristine and fascinating beauty, especially the scarcity of people, with rows of trees covered with moss as if frozen in time. There are no tourist services on the island, no electricity, no guesthouses, and fresh water is very scarce. You should prepare carefully with food, drinks, tents, and supplies when coming here.

Van Hoa Plateau

Dubbed as the Da Lat of Phu Yen, Van Hoa Plateau belongs to Son Hoa district, including Son Xuan, Son Long, and Son Dinh communes. Situated at an altitude of 400m, the plateau is filled with sunshine, wind, and mist. What's interesting about this place is that in autumn, the climate is always cooler than in Tuy Hoa, with mist hanging every morning, giving the feeling of being in Da Lat. Additionally, this place is also famous for its fragrant specialties, jackfruit, and fish sauce made from these two types of fruits.

Nua Island

Nua Island lies at the foot of Ca Pass, bordering between Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa provinces, with a peak height of 105m above sea level. When visiting Nua Island in a large group, it's advisable to stay overnight to have a bonfire, enjoy grilled seafood, and experience the serene nighttime seaside atmosphere.

On the island, there's a beautiful beach with clear water, also a perfect camping spot. Following the footsteps of the lighthouse guards, you'll be guided to explore Nua Island's lighthouse and admire the panoramic view of the endless blue sea around the island. The guards are also hospitable and friendly hosts, as there aren't many visitors staying on the island.

Mang Lang Church

Built in 1892, Mang Lang Church is located in An Thach commune, Tuy An district, about 35 km north of Tuy Hoa city. It is considered the oldest church in Phu Yen and one of the oldest churches in Vietnam. This place is quite attractive to tourists visiting Phu Yen tourism. In the past, Mang Lang Church was a stopping point for preaching by Bishop Alexandre de Rhodes (Father Dac Lo), and it also houses the first Vietnamese-language book.

Swallow Island

Looking from Nhon Hoi hamlet, you'll see two small islands close together, about 100m from the shore. The larger one, resembling a giant cone with towering cliffs, is called Swallow Island, while the smaller one is called Cartilage Island.

Swallow Island belongs to An Hoa commune, Tuy An district, 20km northeast of Tuy Hoa city. At the foot of the rocky mountain are deep waves carved into the mountain base, bearing the marks of time, while above are winding curves formed by nature's hand millions of years ago.

Vung Ro Bay

Vung Ro Bay (Hoa Xuan Nam, Dong Hoa, Phu Yen) is small yet beautiful. Viewed from Ca Pass, Vung Ro resembles a watercolor painting with its calm flat beach. This area serves as a natural boundary on the sea between Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa provinces. Covering an area of 16.4 square kilometers, Vung Ro is sheltered by three high mountain ranges: Ca Pass, Da Bia, and Hon Ba from the north, east, and west. To the south of the bay lies Nua Island.

The bay is bustling with boats, creating a scene that is both majestic and poetic. Especially, the road leading to Vung Ro is treacherous with winding curves and steep slopes when crossing Ca Pass, yet it stretches out long and flat, covered in the cool shade of the forest. The pristine natural landscape with mountains, clouds, forests, sky, land, and water creates a fascinating picture.

O Loan Lagoon

Located at the foot of Quan Cau Pass, National Highway 1A, O Loan Lagoon is likened to a phoenix spreading its wings. This is a magnificent spot for tourists to admire the sunrise. You can enjoy the panoramic view of the lagoon by climbing to the top of Quan Cau Pass, with the wide lake surface rippling in the breeze, the gently rolling low hills adorned with lush sugarcane fields. Exploring O Loan Lagoon, tourists will have the chance to savor the famous blood cockles, renowned throughout the country.

Dai Lanh Lighthouse

The scenic spot of Mon Beach - Dai Lanh Cape belongs to Dong Be hamlet, Hoa Tam commune, Dong Hoa district, about 35 km southeast of Tuy Hoa city. Dai Lanh captivates visitors with its pristine Mon Beach, the endless stretches of sand dunes. The most exciting part is following the trails, climbing up to the lighthouse, admiring the vast blue sea, the slow-moving trains, the peculiar-shaped rocky mountains, or becoming one of the earliest risers at the 'Easternmost Lighthouse' of the country.

Spouting Gorge

Spouting Gorge nestles amidst the Black Rock mountain range, amidst vast forests and rugged hills, creating a very picturesque landscape. Especially, from the bottom of the gorge, there are many sheer cliffs. Surrounding the gorge is a primeval forest, with many large rocks under the gorge causing the water to gush upwards strongly. Here, tourists will enjoy a charming landscape of mountains and water.

Ganh Ba, Xep Beach

Although only about 16km from Tuy Hoa city, Ganh Ba and Xep Beach seem to have a completely separate location. A magnificent scene that mesmerizes, especially for those visiting for the first time, will be overwhelmed by the harmonious combination of mountains and vast blue sea. Furthermore, on windy days at Ganh Ba, you can witness the dance of the sea with thousands of white waves stretching endlessly along the coast, leaving an unforgettable impression. But beware of the prickly cacti here.

Nhan Tower

Nhan Tower is located on Nhan Mountain beside the Ba River, an architectural structure built by the Cham people around the 10th to 13th centuries. The tower has a square shape with 4 floors, nearly 23.5 meters high. The construction material is baked bricks stacked closely together without visible gaps. Anyone visiting Phu Yen cannot miss Nhan Tower. From Nhan Tower, you can overlook the entire Tuy Hoa city, the sea, the river, the fields, and the mountains...

 Light Cape

In Tuy An district, alongside a mesmerizing basaltic rock formation with stacked layers, lies the serene Light Cape lighthouse at the mouth of Xuan Dai Bay, facing Chao lagoon. Located more than 30 km north of Tuy Hoa city, Phu Yen, the Light Cape lighthouse is an unmissable destination for tourists visiting Phu Yen.
