Phước Hải is recognized as one of the oldest fishing communities in Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province. The town is deeply anchored in maritime traditions, visible in the bustling morning fish markets on the Phước Hải beach. For those seeking leisure, Bãi tắm Mộ Ông and Bãi tắm Trân Châu provide quiet sandy shores, while the Lan Rung Resort Phuoc Hai provides a high-end stay with its unique Mediterranean-inspired architecture. The town is celebrated for its premium fish sauce and dried seafood specialties. Walking through the village, visitors can encounter ancient shrines and watch locals process the day's catch. The local dining scene is dominated by open-air seafood stalls where freshness is guaranteed. Only a two-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, it serves as a great getaway for those looking to escape the urban rush.
