1. Cổ Thạch Beach
Also known as the "Seven-Color Stone Beach," Cổ Thạch Beach is located in Tuy Phong District, Bình Thuận Province. This beach is famous for its uniquely colored and shaped stones that stretch along the coastline. With its emerald green sea, this one-of-a-kind landscape intrigues many travelers.
One of the most beautiful landscapes in Bình Thuận, this stone beach is also home to large rocks covered in lush green moss. Typically, mid-March is when the moss is at its peak, creating a picturesque scene when illuminated by natural sunlight. This special sight is not always visible, so if you don't want to miss the "moss hunting season," be sure to book your Bình Thuận hotel room early before prices soar!
2. Wind Turbine Fields
Bình Thuận is home to not just one but three wind turbine fields where you can take plenty of "Instagram-worthy" photos during your trip (Tuy Phong, Đại Phong, and Phú Quý Island). Among them, the wind turbine field in Tuy Phong attracts the most travelers due to its large area (about 400 hectares), easy access, and stunning natural surroundings.
Despite being a relatively new check-in spot for young people, these wind turbine fields draw a lot of visitors because of the European-like scenery with blue skies, white clouds, and vast grassy fields. Tuy Phong also has bright red atiso flower fields in bloom from October to March.
3. Ông Địa Rock Beach
Located in Hàm Tiến Ward, Phan Thiết City, about 10km from the city center, Ông Địa Rock Beach is easily accessible by motorbike or car. This spot is famous for its pristine beaches and intriguing local folklore.
The name "Ông Địa" (Earth God) was given by locals because of a rock formation resembling the Earth God facing inland. This figure is believed to bring good luck and safety to fishermen's sea journeys.
A clean and spacious tourist spot in Bình Thuận, Ông Địa Rock Beach allows you to freely swim, take photos, and enjoy activities like paragliding, jet skiing, or surfing. Additionally, the beach is a gathering place for local fishermen's round boats. You can also support them by buying fresh seafood and enjoying Bình Thuận's famous dishes here.
4. Kê Gà Cape
True to its name, Kê Gà Cape is a collection of rock formations that naturally form the shape of a chicken's head. Located about 30km from Phan Thiết City, it’s an interesting stop after exploring other check-in spots in Bình Thuận.
Not only does it have a rock garden, but Kê Gà Cape also boasts unspoiled beaches with crystal-clear water and Southeast Asia's oldest lighthouse, dating back to the French colonial period. The best time to explore this spot is before 5:00 PM each day, as this is when the sunset descends on Kê Gà, and the canoes that ferry visitors stop operating after this time.
Since the area has not been heavily developed for tourism, there are limited accommodation options. Therefore, you should book your hotel near Kê Gà early. Additionally, there are no direct flights to Bình Thuận from major cities in Vietnam, so you can only reach it by road or rail.
5. Bàu Trắng
This is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Bình Thuận. Located about 60km from Phan Thiết City, Bàu Trắng features rolling sand dunes and lotus-filled lakes. For this reason, travel enthusiasts often refer to it as the "mini Sahara" of Bình Thuận.
With such an impressive view, despite the sparse, sunny, and treeless road leading there, many people still visit. The best time to visit Bàu Trắng is during the summer months when the weather is driest, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom.
Having arrived at Bàu Trắng, you must try the sand-based activities like off-road biking, sandboarding, boating, and jeep tours. One thing to note is that Bàu Trắng has few dining options, so you should prepare your food and drinks in advance.
