Bãi Ông Câu is located on the wild western coast of Con Son Island within the Côn Đảo archipelago. This area is far less developed than the eastern shore, offering visitors an authentic natural experience amidst the national park. The landscape is characterized by granite cliffs dropping into the turquoise sea and dense forests reaching right down to the shoreline. Visitors often reach this spot via hiking trails or small boats. Nearby attractions include An Hai Beach, known for its calm waters, and the hidden Plage secrète, which reveals its full charm only at low tide. It is a handy spot for fishing enthusiasts and travelers looking to enjoy the sunset in absolute tranquility. The local gastronomy in the nearby Con Son town features fresh seafood, including the island's famous sea snails. Access is typically by flight or ferry from Vung Tau or Ho Chi Minh City, followed by a short ride on a scooter or taxi along the island's scenic coastal roads.
