A vast stretch of golden sand extending for miles, offering paradise-like scenery and a rich natural history.
Long Beach (Long Beach) is a public beach, so it is open 24 hours a day, every day of the week, with no closing hours. To get there, you can take a taxi from Duong Dong or rent a motorbike. It is easily accessible from most accommodations in the area.
No! Access to Long Beach is completely free. You can enjoy its sand and crystal-clear waters at no cost. Some private facilities along the beach, such as restaurants or sunbed rentals, may have their own prices, but the beach itself is freely accessible.
We recommend setting aside at least half a day, around 3 to 4 hours, to fully enjoy Long Beach. This gives you enough time to swim, sunbathe, take a relaxing walk along the shore, and perhaps enjoy a meal or drink at one of the beach bars. If you want to see the sunset, plan your visit for the afternoon.
Although Long Beach is mainly famous for its stunning natural beauty and sunsets, it does not have deep cultural significance in the sense of ancient ruins or specific historic events. However, its development in recent decades has made it a symbol of Phu Quoc’s tourism growth and a meeting place for visitors and locals.
The best time of year to visit Long Beach is during the dry season, from November to April, when the weather is sunny and the waters are calmer. The best time of day to enjoy it is in the afternoon, especially to witness the spectacular sunsets for which it is famous. If you prefer fewer crowds, early mornings are also ideal.
Access directly onto the sand at Long Beach can be challenging for people with reduced mobility, as there are no dedicated walkways along its entire length. However, many resorts and restaurants along the beach may have ramps or easier access to their terrace areas and viewpoints overlooking the beach. We recommend checking access at your accommodation if you have specific needs.
Near Long Beach, you can explore the lively Duong Dong Night Market (Phu Quoc Night Market), visit Dinh Cau Temple (Dinh Cau Temple) for a panoramic view and to learn about local history, or even take an excursion to visit nearby pepper farms or the fish sauce factory. There are many options to complement your beach day.
Of course. To make the most of your visit, I suggest bringing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. If you plan to watch the sunset, arrive early to find a good spot. Consider staying for dinner at one of the beach restaurants for a dining experience with spectacular views. And don’t forget your camera to capture the sunsets!
