Tuy Phong remains a relatively unknown destination for budget-conscious domestic travelers, as it doesn’t boast the same abundance of natural wonders found elsewhere. However, like other beaches in Binh Thuan, Co Thach-Tuy Phong Beach features crystal-clear turquoise waters and waves that rhythmically kiss the shore day and night.
Additionally, Co Thach Beach captivates visitors with its rocky shores, which sometimes shimmer like multicolored gemstones, other times appear rugged like colossal sea monsters, or exude a serene charm with their deep green, moss-covered surfaces.

Travel tips for visiting Co Thach Beach
From Phan Thiết city, take National Highway 1A northbound for 90km to the Liên Lương town intersection, then turn left onto a red dirt road leading to Co Thach Beach in Bình Thạnh commune, Tuy Phong district. Upon arrival, visitors are immediately struck by the dazzling array of colorful rocks scattered across the shore.
According to Mytour, these rocks are naturally formed by the influence of tides, ocean currents, and seawater. The stones at Co Thach vary in size and color, creating a visually stunning landscape.
There are two ideal times to visit Co Thach. Based on Phan Thiết travel tips 2017, if you want to explore and capture the surreal beauty of Co Thach, plan your trip around March. During this period, the rocks are covered in lush green moss, which gradually turns golden under the sunlight, earning this season the nickname “moss-hunting season” at Co Thach.
Alternatively, visitors can plan their trip between the 16th and 18th of the 8th lunar month to combine travel with exploring the cultural traditions and customs of the Co Thach locals. This period coincides with the Nghinh Ông Festival, the most significant and grandest celebration for the fishermen of Tuy Phong.

Co Thach Beach is nestled among uniquely shaped cliffs, offering a serene and secluded atmosphere. The crystal-clear, turquoise waters and gentle waves caress the vast stretch of white sand, while the rocky shores add a touch of enchantment to the already mesmerizing coastal landscape.
Thanks to its unique natural features, Co Thach has become a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Phan Thiết. The beach remains relatively undeveloped, with limited tourist services, making it an ideal spot for those who enjoy backpacking in Phan Thiết.
When visiting the sunny and windy region of Tuy Phong, after marveling at the unique seven-colored rock beach, travelers can explore Co Thach Temple.

The entrance to the main hall is guarded by sacred statues of elephants and tigers. Locals often refer to it as the Cave Temple due to its natural cave setting, offering a picturesque landscape of mountains and water.
Additionally, visitors can admire Vietnam’s first large-scale wind farm, explore vineyards heavy with grapes at no extra cost, or spend a day experiencing the traditional salt-making craft of the local people.
