💡 Tips

Visit the beach in the late afternoon to witness some of the most spectacular sunsets over the Gulf of Thailand.
Make sure to bring a strong insect repellent for the evening, as mosquitoes are active near the coastal vegetation.
Head to the northern end near Gành Dầu if you want to find quieter spots away from the major resort complexes.
Rent a kayak or take a local boat to reach nearby islets for excellent snorkeling in crystal-clear waters.
Carry enough cash with you, as ATMs are scarce in the more secluded stretches of the beach area.

Bãi Dài, located in the northwest of Phú Quốc Island, is recognized as one of Vietnam's most beautiful beaches. The region has evolved from a pristine paradise into a hub for luxury tourism without fully losing its natural charm. Visitors find a first-rate blend of relaxation and modern amenities here, surrounded by tropical vegetation and the gentle murmur of the Gulf of Thailand. Scenic highlights include Bãi Đá Cuội, known for its interesting rock formations, and Bãi Ông Cau, which features a quieter atmosphere for those seeking rest. These beaches are good for swimming, sunbathing, and long sunset walks. The waters are shallow and warm, making them particularly safe for families. Local gastronomy focuses on fresh seafood, often prepared right on the beach. Nearby, large leisure complexes and golf courses provide variety. Access is mostly via Phú Quốc International Airport, followed by a short drive through the pretty island landscape.
