Blue Stone Lake, located in Tan Thanh district, is nestled near the slopes of Dinh mountain. This place is considered the most enchanting photo spot in Vũng Tàu. Getting to the lake is quite easy. On the way to Vũng Tàu, on the section of National Highway 51 in Kim Dinh ward, look to the left and you'll see Long Hương church. Turn into the alley on the right next to the church and then ask the locals for directions. They will guide you very enthusiastically!
The most impressive feature of Blue Stone Lake is undoubtedly the incredibly beautiful natural scenery: a large, crystal-clear lake nestled snugly against a tall mountain wall.
Moreover, there is even a flock of sheep ready to be your photo props!
The photo shooting fee at Đá Xanh Lake is 20k per person, and for wedding photos, it's 150k. If you decide to hire the sheep as well, it will cost an additional 50k per person. One important note is that the area around Đá Xanh Lake is quite dangerous, so you should only check-in and enjoy the scenery, absolutely no swimming here!

Situated at 1 Hạ Long Street, Nghinh Phong Cape stands out as one of the beautiful spots in Vung Tau, offering a blend of scenic beauty and incredibly fresh air.
The name Nghinh Phong, meaning 'welcoming the wind,' is bestowed upon this place because it embraces the breeze throughout the four seasons, stretching towards the sea, forming two large bays and two famous beaches known as Crescent Moon Beach and Fragrance Wind Beach (also called Pineapple Beach).
Crescent Moon Beach is renowned for its crystal-clear and pristine water, making it a perfect retreat to unwind and de-stress after hectic workdays. Not only that, with its tranquil and romantic charm, it has become a popular destination for young people seeking Instagram-worthy shots or couples capturing their wedding moments.

But wait, Mui Nghinh Phong also boasts Tao Phung peak, home to the renowned Christ the King statue. The Christ the King statue (commonly known as the Christ with outstretched arms) stands at an impressive 32m, with arms stretching 18.4m wide; the statue's heart can accommodate around 100 people. This is also the largest Christ statue in Asia.

Perched atop Little Mountain in Ward 2, Vũng Tàu City, Bà Rịa – Vũng Tàu Province, this lighthouse boasts a round tower, 18 meters high, painted in white to stand out against the azure sky.
Standing atop the lighthouse, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Vũng Tàu City, along with numerous breathtaking tourist attractions such as the crescent-shaped beaches beside the clear blue sea, Minh Đạm Mountain, the outstretched arms of the Christ the King statue, and more.
The best time to visit Vung Tau Lighthouse is during sunset, as the sun paints a radiant halo, casting a warm glow on the historic white lighthouse and the vast sea. If possible, stay until the evening to witness the enchanting scene as the city lights up, and illuminated boats dot the shimmering waters. It's truly a breathtaking spectacle!

After exploring the lighthouse, take a stroll around the area, where you'll find numerous picturesque sights. Admire the decades-old bougainvillea garden, visit the operations house before ascending the sturdy staircase inside this two-story building to the top of the tower... every nook and cranny serves as a perfect backdrop for your stunning photos.
The road leading to Vung Tau Lighthouse is equally stunning; on one side, there are rocky cliffs, and on the other, the entire city with its deep blue beaches. Along the roadside, many trees intertwine with each other, creating a landscape that is both rugged and full of life. You can ride a motorbike straight up to the lighthouse, but also consider experiencing the journey on foot, enjoying the scenery while keeping fit!
5. Pig Hill
Located at Sau Beach, formerly a quarry site, Pig Hill was overlooked by many due to its rocky history. However, today it has transformed into a deserted hill with stunning scenery, adored by numerous young enthusiasts.

Just venture towards the twisted hill, embracing the winding sandy path, and you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the sea and a vast azure sky. You're guaranteed not to be disappointed at all!

There's an intriguing aspect to Pig Hill as the scenery here transforms with the seasons. In the dry season, the landscape is barren with only rocks scattered around.
