Egg-shaped rock formations on Binh Hung Island (Cam Ranh)
Binh Hung Island, also known as Hon Chut or Hon Ty, is located in the deep-water bay of Cam Ranh. Besides its crystal-clear turquoise waters reminiscent of the Maldives and its fine white sand beaches, Binh Hung boasts a unique feature not found on other islands: a beach with giant egg-shaped rocks.
This rocky beach is located near Hon Chut Lighthouse, however, getting there is quite difficult. You have to walk along the path leading up to Hon Chut Lighthouse. When you get close to the top, there will be a walking path on your right; just follow it down and you will reach this beautiful rocky beach.
Here, there are huge, perfectly round, smooth rocks, resembling dinosaur eggs stacked on top of each other. Despite the crashing waves and strong winds, the Egg Rock Beach remains serene amidst the dreamy seascape of the stunning Cam Ranh Bay.
Although you can't swim or snorkel at this rocky beach, it's one of the most beautiful beaches in Central Vietnam, perfect for photography, especially at sunrise and sunset. The combination of the golden-orange or vibrant red sky with the blue sea and stunning rocks will produce many beautiful photos.
Besides taking photos with the egg-shaped rock formations, visitors can also climb Hon Chut lighthouse to admire the panoramic view of the beautiful and charming Cam Ranh Bay; or enjoy water sports at Kinh Beach and Me Beach, which are also memorable experiences.
In particular, when visiting Binh Hung Island, don't forget to enjoy seafood on floating restaurants in the middle of the sea, eat lobster, and stroll through the night market, buying souvenirs made from unique types of seashells.
Queen's Beach (Quy Nhon)
In Quy Nhon, besides Ky Co and Eo Gió, there is another extremely interesting beach near the city center. It's Hoang Hau Beach, located in the Ghenh Rang - Tien Sa tourist area. It's about 3 km southeast of the city center. This place possesses a beauty that is both pristine and subtly elegant and refined.
Legend has it that this place was once a playground and gathering spot for fairies. Later, Queen Nam Phuong and King Bao Dai came here and fell in love with the beautiful beach and dreamy scenery. Thus, the beach was named Queen's Beach.
If it were just a beach with a long stretch of sand like many others, Hoang Hau Beach wouldn't be a constant check-in spot for tourists. Hoang Hau Beach is formed from smooth, round, egg-shaped stones of various sizes. These egg-shaped stones are arranged skillfully, with larger stones supporting smaller ones on top. Time and the waves have eroded these stones, making them even more beautiful on sunny days.
At this beach, visitors can still swim. However, the rocky terrain is quite dangerous. Therefore, it's best to just come here to admire the scenery, take photos, or simply find some peace and quiet.
Right next to Hoang Hau Beach is Hoang Hau Restaurant, specializing in delicious Quy Nhon specialties. You can visit here with your family and friends for lunch or dinner.
