A Coastal Escape in Lo Village, Phu Yen

On one of our trips to find the simple beauty of Vietnam's coastal fishing villages, we stumbled upon Lo Village in Phú Yên. This place is a breath of fresh air with its slow pace of life and the genuine friendliness of the locals. In the early morning, you can take a walk along the beach, buy fresh fish or squid straight from the basket boats as they come in, and cook it yourself. The local market is a fun spot to explore too—everything is super cheap and fresh. The village has this charming vibe with its winding roads, old houses, and shady trees. If you're up for some sightseeing, Dai Lanh Cape, Mon Beach, and Ca Pass are nearby, and renting a motorbike to ride along those scenic mountain and sea roads is a must. What we loved most was how laid-back everything was. Unlike other trips where you feel the need to dress up, here you can just blend in with the locals, live simply, and feel so much healthier for it. Going to bed early, waking up with the sun, and swimming every day made us feel more energized and clear-headed.
