Let Vietjet guide you through Phuoc Hai Oyster Village in the article below.

Phuoc Hai Oyster Village attracts visitors with its pristine nature and famous rock oysters.

1. What to Expect at Phuoc Hai Oyster Village

Unlike the well-known Long Hai or Vung Tau, Phuoc Hai is a beach that captivates many tourists with its peaceful atmosphere. Just over 2 hours by car from Ho Chi Minh City, Phuoc Hai Beach remains unspoiled due to limited tourism development. However, this untouched charm is what draws tourists, a feature not many beaches can boast.

Phuoc Hai is a small fishing town in Dat Do district. Since it has not been heavily developed for tourism, there are not many bustling attractions like in other beach areas.

On the upside, it offers a beautiful beach with few people and a unique tranquility. Recently, the sea embankment of Phuoc Hai fishing village has been colorfully renovated, becoming a check-in spot for many young people.

In addition, Phuoc Hai is famous for the Nuoc Ngot Pass. This pass is the boundary between Long Dien and Dat Do districts, about 25 km from Vung Tau and only a few kilometers from Phuoc Hai Beach. The pass features a stunning 5 km C-shaped coastal road with wide views, making it a perfect place to watch the sunrise.
