The area of Binh Hung Island is only nearly 2km2, with nearly 2000 people living, this place has a beautiful Lighthouse and pristine beaches that have not been exploited by human hands.
Our group of 10 people walked along Highway DT 702 towards Kinh beach to board the boat to Binh Hung Island on a bright sunny afternoon in mid-April. Highway DT 702 is now a smooth asphalt road in the middle of a One side is the mountain, the other side is the sea. We seemed lost in a forest along the blue sea. The wind sings everywhere, blowing cool, salty breath – the typical taste of the sea onto the skin. The whole space is filled with the magical blue of the sky and the sea. The bright yellow sunlight dyes the sky, trees, and landscape, making it sharper and more attractive. The entire Vinh Hy Bay glitters in the eyes.
We began the journey to discover the “raw pearl” of Binh Hung with much joy and excitement. Bai Kinh is about 1km from the island village, takes more than 10 minutes by boat. The small, peaceful fishing village gradually appeared before our eyes. People here live mainly from aquaculture, fishing, and lobster farming, so boats and ships are always busy going back and forth. Small, beautiful houses close to the sea, loud calls to each other, a rustic but very poetic scene. When we arrived at the shore, there was a tuk tuk waiting for us to take the group back to the motel.
Most of the houses are located in complex and dense winding alleys. The residential area on the island is quite small, with only about 400 households living. Binh Hung has only been known for a few years, still has a wild character and has not been touristized. The people on the island are gentle, sincere, approachable and always smile friendly to visitors.

Standing on top of the lighthouse at a height of 50m, you can look over the entire pearl island, observe the bustling life of cargo ships on Cam Ranh port… Hidden below the lighthouse are each rock. , large and small rocks stacked on top of each other mixed with sand, grass and trees create a trail leading down to steep cliffs close to the coast.
Egg Stone Beach
Egg Rock Beach is also a place not to be missed when coming to this beautiful island. Egg Rock Beach consists of countless giant, round rocks as big as dinosaur eggs stacked on top of each other. Sitting on the rocky beach, watching the cool blue sea under the sunset, listening to each wave crashing against the rocks makes the soul feel light. This is one of the beautiful virtual check-in locations in Binh Hung.
Bai Chuoi
Referring to Binh Hung, we must mention beautiful beaches such as: Kinh beach, Tamarind beach, Cha La beach, Bong beach, Nuoc Ngot beach, Chuoi beach… The beach here is not too long and wide but the sea water is cool. cold, clear, you can look down to the bottom to see colorful coral reefs.
