Phu Quoc Island stands out as one of the most exquisite and highly frequented destinations in Vietnam. Its population is rather sparse, primarily engaged in agriculture, pearl harvesting, and, of course, tourism. So if you yearn for solitude, Phu Quoc Island should be your ultimate choice.
The island boasts sandy beaches that stretch along its coastline for nearly its entire length. These beaches are distinguished by their pristine, white, and golden sands. Many of them remain undeveloped, particularly those located on the southern tip of the island. These unspoiled shores attract fewer tourists, allowing you to relish the sea's beauty and endless stretches of untouched sand, as long as you don't mind the absence of modern comforts.
Aside from basking on the beach and embracing tranquil moments, Phu Quoc also offers favorable conditions for surfing enthusiasts. However, the range of local activities essentially ends there. There are only a handful of attractions, such as a pearl farm where you can observe the cultivation of pearls and purchase jewelry made from them. On a somewhat less appealing note, there's an old prison where you can gain insight into the grim realities of the Vietnam War.
