Phu Quy Island
Phu Quy, also known as Cu Lao Thu, is a small island located approximately 120km from Phan Thiet city. Your first impression upon arrival is the raw and nearly untouched scenery, making Phu Quy a rising star among travel enthusiasts. It not only captivates with its numerous beaches like Trieu Duong Gulf, Doi Dua Beach, Nho Beach - Ganh Hang, Tranh Islet but also boasts many scenic spots waiting for you to explore.
Bau Trang
Cổ Thạch, situated in Tuy Phong district, is approximately 100 km away from Phan Thiết. Much like many 'off-the-beaten-path' beaches in Bình Thuận, Cổ Thạch still preserves its pristine beauty with crystal-clear waters.
The beach at Cổ Thạch is a unique blend of rocks and sand, featuring various types of small, round, flat rocks with vibrant colors, locally known as seven-color stones. These rocks are naturally formed due to the influence of tides, currents, and seawater. For photographers, the best time to capture the beauty of Cổ Thạch is in March, also known as the 'moss hunting' season. During this period, almost all large rocks at Cổ Thạch are adorned with lush green moss, gradually turning golden under the dazzling sunlight.
Kê Gà Cape
Kê Gà Cape is located in Thuận Quý commune, Hàm Thuận Nam district, approximately 30 km from Phan Thiết. While Phan Thiết is renowned for its beautiful beaches and long stretches of fine white sand, Kê Gà Cape adds a touch of curiosity with its peculiar rock formations in various shapes, captivating the curiosity of visitors.
This place is not one of the familiar destinations for Vietnamese tourists as Kê Gà Cape still remains quite wild and secluded. However, many adventurous travelers choose to come here to experience the tranquil atmosphere and visit the oldest lighthouse in Vietnam.
Cù Lao Câu Island
Cù Lao Câu, situated in Phước Thể commune, Tuy Phong district, emerges like a colossal warship, surrounded by tens of thousands of rocks with various colors and shapes. This deserted island is about 10 km away from the nearest point of the mainland, accessible by boat in approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The island features thousands of uniquely shaped rocks interspersed with lush green grass. It is meticulously planned as a marine life conservation area and serves as a captivating ecotourism destination.
Trường Dục Thanh School
Founded in 1907 by patriotic scholars in response to the Duy Tân movement in Central Vietnam, Trường Dục Thanh School bears witness to the time when President Hồ Chí Minh stopped to teach before heading to Sài Gòn. Today, the campus of Trường Dục Thanh retains nearly intact artifacts from nearly a century ago.
Mũi Né Sand Dunes
Mũi Né Sand Dunes, also known as Bay Sand Dunes, are among the expansive stretches of sand. Formed over a long period, the sands here exhibit a variety of colors, predominantly yellow, ivory white, dark red, and light red, blending together in a visually stunning panorama.
What makes it unique is that after every strong wind or overnight, the sand dunes take on new shapes. The wind sculpts the dunes into countless fascinating forms. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon. You can rent a sandboard for VND 10,000 and experience sliding down the sandy slopes.
Poshanu Cham Tower
Poshanu Tower is located on Bà Nài Hill, Phú Hải Ward, approximately 7 km northeast of downtown Phan Thiết. The Cham Poshanu Tower is a group of well-preserved relics from the ancient Champa Kingdom. The tower follows the Hoa Lai architectural style, one of the ancient art styles of Champa. Despite its modest size, it embodies the essence of Champa's architectural techniques and decorative arts, creating an aura of solemnity and mystery.
