This tranquil beach is not the teeming place if we get here late in the morning or late in the afternoon but it is better to enjoy sunray in sparkling water late in the morning from our point of view. Bringing some beers and spending your quiet, warm interval with your family.

At location A5, they have been renovating the beach here to open it for use soon but as the location facing to the East side of Phu Quoc then the beach here will be normally receiving big wave owning to the influence of the Northeast monsoon during Dry season. The beach at A3 will be probably opened latest as there is still the existence of former construction left by fishermen before and the point of loading goods, material for constructions on the island.
