Eo Gió

Let's begin our journey with Eo Gió. Located about 20 km from Quy Nhon city, Eo Gió is a new tourist destination that visitors to this central coastal city all want to see. The name Eo Gió (Windy Strait) originates from the geographical shape of the area; looking down from the surrounding rocky outcrops, you will see a small strait sheltered by a mountain range like an embrace surrounding the beautiful beach.

Ky Co

The next must-see destination is Ky Co Beach. Located in Nhon Ly island commune, Ky Co boasts a pristine beauty that few people know about. It's considered the "number one paradise" of Nhon Ly because Ky Co Beach is a flat beach, covering more than 1 km² with a shallow, calm coastline. The beach is a wonderful combination of clear blue water, majestic rocky cliffs, and golden sand.

Hon Kho Island

Located 16 km from the city, Hon Kho Island acts as a giant screen protecting the Nhon Hai fishing village. To reach the island, visitors must take a boat, with tickets costing around 40,000 VND per person, or rent the entire boat for 400,000 VND.

Cu Lao Xanh

Cu Lao Xanh, also known as Nhon Chau island commune, is a priceless gift that nature has bestowed upon the people of Binh Dinh province. The island is only about 20 km from Quy Nhon. To get to Cu Lao Xanh, tourists go to Quy Nhon port and look for the Nhon Chau ferry. There are two trips a day, at 7:30 AM and 12:30 PM. The ferry ticket costs only about 20,000 VND per person.

Trung Luong Ecotourism Area

Visit the Trung Luong camping area, located east of Provincial Road DT 639 in Trung Luong village, Cat Tien commune, Phu Cat district. This is a still pristine and tranquil area, making camping an extremely wise choice for tourism.

Cuisine

After a tiring day exploring Quy Nhon, visit local eateries to experience the city's culinary delights. Typical Quy Nhon dishes include banh hoi with offal, chao long (offal porridge), banh canh (rice noodle soup), bun ca (fish noodle soup), banh dat (rice cakes), bun ram (crab noodle soup), etc. Seafood and snails are also famous specialties of this martial arts land. In the evening, head to the night food street near the coastal road and sample the local snacks.

Note:

Quy Nhon is at its most beautiful during the dry season, from March to September. If you visit this coastal city during this time, don't forget to bring sunscreen. The sea breeze carrying salt, along with the bright sunshine of Quy Nhon, can cause visitors to tan by 2-3 shades.
