Nam Du Island Travel: A to Z Guide

The best time to travel to Nam Du Island is from December to March. During this time, the sea is quite calm and clear. Therefore, those who suffer from seasickness will also reduce a lot of discomfort when traveling by boat. The sea areas of Kien Giang are not directly affected by storms, but the amount of rain caused by storms accounts for a large proportion. The rainy season here usually starts from April to November every year. If you do not want the rain to affect your trip, you can check the weather forecast before going. NAM DU ISLAND TOURIST DESTINATIONS Hon Lon When traveling to Nam Du Island, you should not miss Hon Lon, which is a beautiful bay with an area located in the Gulf of Thailand. This is considered the most beautiful beach in the Nam Du archipelago. The rows of green coconut trees lean over, some trees are up to 70 - 80 years old. Coming here, you can dive to catch squid or see colorful corals. Bai Cay Men is deserted, so you can freely play and swim. The sea water is clear and cool. In addition, you can also catch snails on the rocks along the beach. Bai Ngu Bai Ngu is located in the west of Cu Tron. Legend has it that on the way to Siam, King Gia Long stopped here, so this area is called Bai Ngu. In the dry season, this beach still has plenty of fresh water while other areas are severely lacking water. Here, there is still a well that is always full of water. Local people believe that the well was dug when the king arrived here, so it was named the King's Well. Bai Chet According to folklore, in the 16th century, on the way to Phu Quoc to trade, a fierce battle broke out between the Dutch and Chinese ships. A few days later, hundreds of Chinese corpses washed up on this beach, from then on, people called it Bai Chet. Nam Du Lighthouse Nam Du Lighthouse is located on the top of Hon Lon (Cu Tron) in An Son commune. This is considered the highest lighthouse in Vietnam because it is located on a hilltop more than 300 meters above sea level. Hon Dau Similar to Hon Lon, the beach is still blue and the coconut trees rustle along the shore. Hon Dau is relatively large compared to other islands, the primeval forest accounts for about 90% of the area. Near the shore there are many growing coral reefs, not as beautiful as other deep water areas but the sea water is clear and very clean. Some coconut trees lean gently towards the sea, you can lie down on them and take a nap in the cool breeze. Hon Nom Is one of 11 inhabited islands. The island was reclaimed and built by Mr. Vuong Van Kieu, father of Mr. Duong Van Sau, in 1960. The whole island has an area of about 10 hectares but only 3 hectares can be cultivated, the remaining area is completely rocky mountains. Hon Mau Hon Mau is about 200 hectares wide with more than 120 households located next to each other across the lowest part of the island. Most of the people on this island work in the sea. The island is small, so as soon as you set foot here, the islanders from the elderly to the children all know that you are someone else coming to this island. Among the 21 islands of this archipelago, nature seems to be biased when giving this small island beautiful beaches. There are up to five beaches on the island. Of which, there are two rare white sand beaches: Chuong beach and Nam beach; the rest are three rocky beaches: Bac beach, Da Den beach and Da Trang beach. Nam beach is the front of the island. This beach is almost quiet all year round, so ships coming to trade all stop at this side. Therefore, the population here is also more crowded. However, the beach is also very clean, with fine white sand. Bai Chuong The most interesting thing is to immerse yourself in the cool water of Bai Chuong. The beach is like a bay that looks like a giant lake surrounded by rows of coconut trees that are over a generation old. The sandy beach stretches long, the water is clear blue. You can still see the bottom dozens of meters away. Next to it are two impeccable rock beaches. Bai Da Den has many beautiful types of rocks. Most of them are shiny black, so the locals named them after that. The rocks on this beach are in a myriad of shapes and colors. When the sun shines down, the rocks under the sea sparkle in many eye-catching colors. There are very strange patterns. The rock veins are zigzag green and red like marble veins. From Bai Da Den, walk about 15 minutes to Bai Da Trang. The entire beach is only one color of white rock. Small rocks the size of a finger or a hand lie along the beach. This beach has almost no sand, only white rocks. Everyone who comes to the two rock beaches takes home a few rocks as a gift from the ocean. #travel#naturalwonders#trip
