Bãi biển Gành Dầu — Attraction in Phú Quốc

3 1/2 stars. It's very beautiful and a little bit quaint here because it is a fishing Village. But if you are someone who is sensitive to odors you should know that the orders of fishing are strong here at the water's edge near the boats. I don't mind it so much because I'm from an area where there's a lot of fishing. Also the beach is somewhat dirty/littered. But the water is very, very clear. It would be great if they ran a pier out a ways so people could swim off of a pier. Also be careful of the sand at the water's edge because it's extremely soft. It's probably not a problem getting into the water but you might have a little problem getting out of the water especially if you're older and maybe your legs are not so strong. Also I'm posting the photo here of the bridge on the road just before the beach.

Despite being bordered by pristine rainforests that serve as the green lungs of the area, the beach itself suffers from poor maintenance. Litter, including large discarded items like mattresses, is scattered near the shore, detracting from the natural beauty. Amenities are minimal, making it less appealing for those seeking a full beach-day experience. That said, Ganh Dau can still be worth a short visit—especially during sunset, when the sky ignites in rich hues and the calm sea reflects the fading light. It's a spot better suited for peaceful walks and scenic views than for swimming...

Watch out, folks. It's a challenge of a quest for the beautiful beach that others have mentioned in their posts. Ganh Dau is a fishing village and most of the clean swimmable beaches are already claimed by the big-name resorts. Also, paths leading to open beaches are unpaved, rough and rocky, and muddy in the rainy season. Vung Bau resort has a tiny beach at the end of a lengthy rock path. A few minutes from Ganh Dau village is one of the main tourist attractions to local hero and legend Nguyen Trung Truc temple. A...
