Why we love Bai Sao

White Sand

Soft silky powdery white sand beach — one of the few found on the island.

Star Beach

In the ocean you will find schools of small fish, needle nose fish, and sometimes even a small squid. There are a few shell fish here as well. At the very north and south end of the beach there are a few areas where you will find corals and it makes for a good spot to snorkel. In October and September you will find a lot of starfish near the shore. Occasionally you will see a sea urchin, but they are very rare here.

Kite Surfing

One of the few spots on Phu Quoc where you can actually kite surf.
