Discover all 17 must-visit spots in Quy Nhon

Seaside Walking Path at Eo Gio

Located in Nhơn Lý commune, about 20 km from Quy Nhon city, Eo Gio is a new tourist destination that every visitor to Quy Nhon wants to explore. Its name originates from the geographical shape of the area, as seen from the surrounding rocky outcrops, you'll notice a small inlet shielded by two mountain ranges, embracing a beautiful beach.

Especially, Eo Gio features a newly appeared stunning walking trail along the ridge of the mountain range, with thousands of safe handrail-equipped steps, beautifully crafted and distinguished by red brick and white colors.

Directions to Eo Gio: From Quy Nhon city, take Vo Nguyen Giap Street across Thị Nại Bridge to enter Phương Mai Peninsula, then continue on National Highway 19B to the cultural and sports center of Nhơn Lý commune, and proceed to the destination of Eo Gio. After enjoying your time at Eo Gio, you can also rent a boat here to continue your exploration to Ky Co.

Sea Road at Hon Kho Island

Although not as long as the sea route to Diep Son, this captivating sea road is just about 15km by road from Quy Nhon city center. Simply pass through Thị Nại Sea Bridge and turn right towards Nhơn Hải commune to reach Hon Kho. Just ask for directions to Hon Kho, Nhơn Hải, Binh Dinh, and everyone will know.

Getting to Hon Kho from the mainland is easy. You can rent a boat to the island for a price ranging from 200,000 to 300,000 VND depending on negotiation with the boat owner. The boat can accommodate from 5 to 10 people. Costs may increase if you want to explore around the island, admire the coral reefs, and swim in the middle of the sea. The time from Nhơn Hải port to Hon Kho is about 10-15 minutes.

Previously when visiting Hon Kho, you could dive to admire the coral reefs just less than a meter below the surface, immerse yourself in the clear seawater, or conquer the rocky mountain range... Now, Hon Kho also treats you to an impressive underwater road. In fact, this road has been around for a long time, but it wasn't until the underwater roads mesmerized people that the road at Hon Kho became noticed.

Experience walking through the sea, with soft sandy paths and gentle waves lapping at your bare feet, will bring you a delightful sensation mixed with a hint of excitement. However, the underwater road at Hon Kho is not always accessible; you have to wait until the tide recedes, then you can cross from the mainland to the island easily and safely. So if you intend to conquer this road, you should ask the fishermen about the tide schedule because they know it best.

Cù Lao Xanh (Green Island)

As an island belonging to Nhơn Châu commune, Quy Nhơn city, Bình Định province, Cù Lao Xanh is as enchanting as a gem in the sea. The island is sparsely populated, mainly by the elderly and children. Therefore, when you come here, you'll have the opportunity to experience the strange yet captivating feeling of a deserted island.

The water around Cù Lao Xanh lives up to its name, with a deep green hue all the way to the bottom. The calm sea, clean water, and white sand make it an ideal spot not only for swimming but also for diving at any of its beautiful coves. If you're traveling in a group, you can organize bonfires and seafood barbecues on the beach with delicacies like spotted babylon, tuna, cuttlefish, and the special 'flashing squid,' a term used for freshly caught squid. Cù Lao Xanh is still relatively unexplored, so be one of the pioneering adventurers to discover the mysterious beauty of this emerald gem.

Kỳ Co

Located about 25km from Quy Nhơn city, Ky Co Beach in Nhơn Lý island commune boasts a pristine beauty that few know about. Considered the 'first paradise' of Nhơn Lý, Ky Co Beach stretches over 1km² with a shallow, calm shoreline. The beach is a perfect blend of crystal-clear seawater, majestic rocky cliffs, and untouched golden sand.

Ky Co is situated in Xuong Ly, on the eastern side of the Chau Trieu mountain range. Due to its coastal location with mountains on three sides, there are only two ways to reach it. From Xuong Ly village (or Hung Luong), take a boat or canoe for a 20-30 minute journey, where you'll experience the sensation of floating on the waves.

If traveling by land, start from Suoi Ca Bridge, following the slopes of the Chau Trieu mountains to the south. This section of road is mainly temporary construction for the tourism project, still undergoing completion, so it's mostly dirt roads with some steep slopes, suitable only for skilled drivers who enjoy adventure and exploration.

Mũi Vi Rồng

Located about 20 km east of Phu My town, Dragon Nose (or Dragon Cape) is a rocky promontory jutting out into the mighty sea, resembling a giant dragon sculpted by nature, creating a majestic natural landscape amidst the pristine sea and sky.

From afar, Dragon Nose appears as a towering rock stretching out into the sea. Amidst the rocky mountains lies a cave that leads to the sea, with the rock formations and sea waves creating a magnificent natural harmony at Dragon Nose.

To reach the fishing village, you depart from Ham Tu Wharf in Quy Nhon, taking a 10-15 minute ferry ride costing 30,000 VND. Hai Minh is located on Phuong Mai Peninsula. The peninsula acts like a gigantic screen facing the sea, sheltering the coastal city of Quy Nhon, with a system of parallel rocky mountains stretching nearly 20 km.

As soon as the boat docks, you'll find yourself right at the houses. Houses are close together, hugging the water's edge, built along the rocky shore. To reach the area of the statue, the main attraction of the fishing village, visitors navigate through narrow, winding, maze-like alleys. Passing through the residential area, continue uphill along the narrow mountain path to reach the base of the statue.

From here, you can overlook the peaceful city of Quy Nhon nestled against Vung Chua Mountain, facing the East Sea breeze, with Cu Lao Xanh island faintly visible in the distance amidst the vast ocean, and the bridge spanning the Nhơn Hội sea connecting the mainland to Nhơn Lý island.

Phuong Mai Sand Dunes

Located about 20km from the city center of Quy Nhon, right next to Nhơn Lý beach, Phuong Mai Sand Dunes in Nhơn Lý commune are considered an intriguing tourist destination that is still relatively unknown. The first impression when stepping onto the Phuong Mai peninsula is the enchanting and pristine beauty that captivates visitors. Walking on the sand dunes, which are 100 meters above sea level, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding nature. At this height, visitors can admire the endless stretches of sand dunes, the lush greenery of newly emerged casuarina forests, and the refreshing sea breeze, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere.

Thi Nai Lagoon

With a length of over 10 km and a width of about 4 km, Thi Nai Lagoon is the largest lagoon in Binh Dinh province, known for its variety of famous aquatic species. Within the lagoon, there is a small mountain with a small shrine built by local fishermen to worship the water deity, resembling an ancient tower, called the Fortune-teller's Tower. Visitors will be fascinated by the enchanting beauty of the lagoon, especially during the early morning when the sunlight casts a magical glow over the mangrove forests, creating a charming scene.

Seo Islet

Situated southeast of Nhơn Lý commune, about 5km from the mainland, it takes approximately 20-30 minutes by boat or canoe to reach this small island. Here, the beaches consist of round pebble stones (no sandy beaches) formed from eroded cliffs, creating deep water pools. Below are coral reefs, ideal for exploring the seabed, catching various types of shellfish, abalones, or fishing.

Hon Seo features numerous cave arches formed by mountain cliffs, offering stunning scenery. However, anchoring boats here is challenging due to the coral reefs and deep waters, and getting from the boat to the shore can be quite strenuous.

Ngoc Hoa Zen Monastery

Adjacent to the famous Eo Gio Cliff, Ngoc Hoa Zen Monastery boasts a monumental statue of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, attracting many visitors due to its grandeur and solemn beauty. The 'twin statue' stands at a height of up to 30m, facing both South and North. The South-facing statue is the golden Avalokitesvara, while the North-facing one is Avalokitesvara of the Southern Sea in silver. The statue's hollow body consists of multiple layers, housing 2,000 small statues of Avalokitesvara. The statue's design incorporates elements from Tibet (eyes), India (Shiva's destructive fire), Champa (embellishments), Lopburi (lotus feet), and notably, a physique reminiscent of the Vietnamese people...

Hon Nuoc Lighthouse

Perched atop Ga Go peak in the Gò Dưa range, Tân Phụng hamlet, Mỹ Thọ commune, Phù Mỹ district, Bình Định province, this lighthouse was built during the French colonial period and was initially named Vũng Mới Lighthouse.

Visiting Hon Nuoc Lighthouse, you'll marvel at the vastness of the sea and sky. Looking down from above, you'll see countless rocks, large and small, seemingly 'arranged' to face the distant waves crashing against the shore. Unintentionally, this 'rock army' creates small, clear water pools, ideal hunting and sheltering spots for various crabs and fish. Besides admiring the majestic scenery at Hon Nuoc Lighthouse, you can also immerse yourself in the crystal-clear water beneath Go Dua mountain. Locals call this place Con Beach.

Directions: From Quy Nhon, cross Thi Nai Bridge, turn left onto Highway 19B, then follow the coastal roads DT640, TL632, DT639 to reach Hon Nuoc Lighthouse. The section of Highway 19B is scenic and easy to drive, but once on DT640 and DT639, the roads become narrower, with many potholes and gravel. Opting for this 70km route, you'll pass through Nhon Ly (home to the famous Ky Co Beach and Eo Gio Cliff), Trung Luong Ecotourism Area, Cat Tien Beach, De Gi Beach, and Rong Cape.

Banh It Tower

Banh It Tower is located in Phuoc Hiep commune, Tuy Phuoc district, situated atop a high mountain between the two branches of the Con and Tan An rivers, near Ganh Bridge, along Highway 1A. It's approximately 20km from the city center of Quy Nhon. Banh It Tower comprises four tower structures resembling a stack of rice cakes from a distance, hence the locals' name 'Banh It Tower.' Standing at 22m tall, the main tower features a stone statue of the deity Shiva on its summit. Surrounding the main tower are three smaller auxiliary towers, showcasing distinct Cham architectural style, adorned with beautiful decorations and high artistic value.

Hammock Cave Eco-tourism Area

Located in Tay Phu commune, Tay Son district, Hammock Cave Eco-tourism Area is situated 50km northwest of Quy Nhon city, and 5km from Quang Trung Museum.

If you ever come here, don't hesitate to take a boat and explore. A mythological world unfolds before visitors with the magnificent beauty bestowed by nature, with the stone walls standing tall, adorned with patches of lush moss, vines, and tree roots cascading down the cliffs like a veil covering the modesty of a maiden.

Venturing deeper, visitors will behold the true beauty of Hammock Cave: the granite pillars hidden beneath the riverbed. Chaotic yet harmonious, rugged yet orderly, inert yet vibrant, these granite pillars take on shapes resembling crocodiles, galloping horses, or carp... On sunny days, these myriad-shaped granite pillars shine with vibrant colors, resembling gems under the ocean. Sailing while sipping stone bowl wine, enjoying the victorious scenery, what could be more wonderful?
