Embark on a journey to Binh Thuan and discover these captivating 20 destinations

Cù Lao Câu

Cù Lao Câu, located in Phuoc The commune, Tuy Phong district, emerges like a massive battleship, surrounded by countless rocks with various colors and shapes. This remote island, approximately 10km away from the nearest land point, requires a boat journey of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The island features thousands of unique-shaped rocks interspersed with lush green grass. It has been designated as a marine creature conservation area and is a highly attractive marine eco-tourism destination.

Phu Quy Island

Phu Quy, also known as Cu Lao Thu, is a small island located about 120km from Phan Thiet city. Your first impression when setting foot here is the very untouched and almost unspoiled scenery without the touch of professional tourism services. Perhaps that's why Phu Quy is becoming a hotter name than ever in the minds of young travel enthusiasts. Attracting visitors not only with many beaches like Trieu Duong Gulf, Doi Dua Beach, Nho Beach - Ganh Hang, Tranh Islet, but Phu Quy also has many attractions for you to explore.

Ke Ga Cape

Ke Ga Cape is located in Thuan Quy commune, Ham Thuan Nam district, about 30 km from Phan Thiet. If Phan Thiet is famous for its beautiful beaches, long white smooth sandy beaches, then Ke Ga Cape has the additional feature of strange rock formations arranged in various shapes, arousing curiosity for tourists.

This place is not one of the familiar destinations for Vietnamese tourists because Ke Ga is still quite wild and remote, but many young backpackers like to come here to feel the peaceful atmosphere and visit the oldest lighthouse in Vietnam.

Co Thach Beach

Co Thach belongs to Tuy Phong district, about 100 km from Phan Thiet. Like many 'secluded' beaches in Binh Thuan, Co Thach Beach still preserves the pristine beauty and clear blue sea.

The beach in Co Thach is a collection of rocks and sand, with various types of small, round, flat rocks in many colors, locally known as seven-color stones. This rock formation is naturally shaped by the influence of tides, currents, and seawater. For photographers, the most beautiful time in Co Thach is in March, also known as the 'moss hunting' season. During this time, almost all the large rocks in Co Thach are covered in a deep green moss coat, gradually turning yellow under the radiant sunlight.

Bau Trang

Located about 65 km from Phan Thiet in the Northeast direction, Bau Trang is in the area of Hong Lam hamlet, Hoa Thang commune, Bac Binh district. Visitors will be amazed when climbing the high sand dunes and encountering a shimmering silver lake under the bright sun, with pink lotus flowers faintly visible behind green leaves, creating a picturesque natural scenery.

Hong Spring (Fairy Stream)

Hong Spring, also known as Fairy Stream, is one of the famous attractions that visitors should not miss when traveling to Phan Thiet. This place is affectionately named 'Fairyland' because, beside the stream, there are natural red and white sand hills. The erosion of time has created peculiar and naturally shaped sand mounds.

Mui Ne Fishing Village

Nestled peacefully along Huynh Thuc Khang street and amidst the towering coconut trees unique to the coastal land of Phan Thiet, Mui Ne fishing village always exudes a strange charm from dawn until the sun sets. Right at the entrance of the village, you can witness the scene of hundreds of colorful fishing boats moored on the water. Not far from the port is a small, colorful market with the tranquil beauty of coconut trees surrounding it.

Mui Ne Sand Dunes

Mui Ne Sand Dunes, or the Bay Sand Dunes, is one of the stretches of sand spread over a wide area. Formed for ages, the sands here come in various colors, mainly yellow, ivory white, dark red, light red, blending together beautifully.

What makes it unique is that after every big wind or overnight, the sand dunes take on new shapes. The wind sculpts the sand dunes into countless fascinating figures. The best time to visit is early in the morning or late in the afternoon. You can rent a sandboard for 10,000 VND and experience sliding down the sand slope.

Yen Cape

Yen Cape is a wild rocky promontory, about 30m above sea level. You can camp right on this rocky promontory to enjoy nature. Amidst the vast sky, below is the open sea with strong waves crashing into large rocks, creating a majestic and breathtaking scene. Camping overnight at Yen Cape, you will feel immersed in nature in the most perfect way. The beach here is very quiet, allowing you to comfortably soak, play under the clear, cool water, but please note that there are no freshwater bathing facilities here.

On a clear moonlit night, with the calm sea, there's nothing better than casting a line from the coastal rocks, catching and grilling fish right on the spot. If you're lucky, you might catch a stingray, a type of fish that only lives in coral reefs. After removing the charred outer layer, savor the firm and sweet flesh, absolutely delicious. The next early morning, it's wonderful to sit in the tent, open the flap, and enjoy the first rays of sunlight. In the distance, the sun slowly rises over the sea, casting a radiant golden light over Yen Cape.

Ta Cu Mountain

Ta Cu Mountain is located along National Highway 1A in Thuan Nam town, Ham Thuan Nam district, 28km south of Phan Thiet city. It's a mountain climbing destination, a fascinating landscape in Binh Thuan province with a height of 649m above sea level. The scenery here is pristine and majestic with overlapping mountains, faint ancient temples hidden behind the trees.

There are two ways to ascend Ta Cu Mountain. One is to climb over 1,000 steps, taking nearly 3 hours to reach the summit. This option is usually chosen by adventurous tourists with good health. The second way takes only 15 minutes to reach the top, and it's convenient – the cable car. Sitting on the cable car, besides not sweating, tourists can also enjoy the feeling of gliding over the lush ancient trees, vibrant red blooming silk cotton trees... and admire the vast green forest.

At the summit of Ta Cu Mountain, there are two famous pagodas, Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda and Long Doan Pagoda. Here, you'll find the statue of Buddha lying down, with knees on hands and back against the mountain. This reclining Buddha statue is considered one of the largest in Southeast Asia and possesses unique architectural artistic value.

Ong Dia Rock Beach

Ong Dia Rock Beach is a stunning coastal area with clear turquoise waters and protruding rock formations, located in Ham Tien ward, approximately 9–10 km from the center of Phan Thiet city.

The origin of this place's name remains unknown. What is certain is that it derived from a rock resembling Ong Dia (a deity in Vietnamese folklore) sitting and facing the mainland. This natural rock formation led locals to believe it was a bestowed deity. They began building a shrine, lighting incense to pray for prosperity and good fortune.

Despite the ebb and flow of time and the erosion caused by sea waves, Ong Dia Rock Beach is no longer as pristine as it once was. However, with genuine faith that has existed for a long time, the local residents have reconstructed the shrine and sculpted the statue of Ong Dia, creating an atmosphere of sincerity and respect for coastal life that visitors can feel when they come to visit.

Cam Binh Beach – La Gi

Situated near National Highway 55, Cam Binh – La Gi Beach is one of the newly attractive tourist destinations. It serves as a convenient stop for travelers coming from Ho Chi Minh City and Vung Tau on their way to Phan Thiet city.

Many liken La Gi's blue sea to a charming maiden awakening. The long, curving coastline resembles the gentle and graceful waist of a maiden. The clear blue sea rolls and ripples like flowing long hair. In La Gi, savoring the cool sea breeze makes one forget the everyday hustle and bustle of the luxurious city.

Duc Thanh School

Founded in 1907 by patriotic scholars to support the Duy Tan movement in Central Vietnam, Duc Thanh School also marks the time when President Ho Chi Minh stopped to teach here before heading to Saigon. Today, within the Duc Thanh School area, almost perfectly preserved relics from nearly a century ago are still on display.

Poshanu Cham Tower

Despite its moderate size, the tower captures the essence of the architectural and decorative artistry of the ancient Cham people, creating an imposing and mystical appearance.

Hoà Thắng Sand Dune

Although not as towering as Mui Ne, Hoa Thang Sand Dune boasts various unique shapes and forms. Among the dunes in Hoa Thang, the one named 'Trinh Nu' is renowned as the 'Number One Sand Dune in Vietnam' by the nation's artistic photography community. With its pure white color, slender and sensual figure, 'Trinh Nu' inspires many photographers nationwide.

Amidst the vast sand dunes are two large lakes brimming with water all year round, creating a uniquely picturesque and serene natural landscape. The expansive water body stretches over 4km, divided into two parts: the outer part is Bau Ong, a long narrow lake, and the inner part is Bau Ba, wide and deep, adorned with lotus and gun flowers blooming year-round. According to legend, these two lakes were formed during the time of King Le Loi, as the local people built dams for the army to pass through, facilitating the protection of the land.
