Where in Vietnam are the best beaches for a vacation?

Without a doubt, the best beaches in Vietnam are on Phu Quoc Island. This island is a true paradise for beach lovers. Here you will find fine white sand, turquoise-clear water, and a long coastline where you can find both completely secluded wild bays and well-equipped beaches with sunbeds and cafes. In 2008, Phu Quoc's beaches were officially recognized as the cleanest and most beautiful in the world, and they have only gotten better since then.

Unlike other popular resorts in Vietnam, such as Nha Trang or Mui Ne, Phu Quoc has fewer waves, and the water remains crystal clear for most of the year. The season from November to March is especially good, when the weather is perfectly sunny and the sea is calm. The main beaches are Long Beach (Bai Truong) with developed infrastructure, the secluded Starfish Beach, and the picturesque Bai Sao — everyone will find their own spot. In addition, there are many small satellite islets around the island, where boat tours are organized — there you can snorkel among the corals.
