Not as noisy as the center of Duong Dong or as lively as the South Island, the North Island of Phu Quoc attracts visitors in a peaceful, pristine way with the deep blue colors of the sea and forest. This place is likened to the "natural treasure" of the pearl island, where tourists can catch the sunrise on the long sandy beach, stop by the ancient fishing village, and admire the sunset on the jagged rocks.

The North Island of Phu Quoc is where the pristine beauty of the blue sea, lush forests, and peaceful fishing villages converge.

1. Suggestions for tourist destinations in the North Island of Phu Quoc

You don't need to go far; just leave the center of Duong Dong about 30-40 km, and tourists will reach a completely different land: quiet, cool, and full of wild charm. Many famous tourist spots in the North Island of Phu Quoc include beaches, forests, and fishing villages, each with its own unique color.

1.1 Long Beach

Once listed by ABC News (USA) as one of the "most beautiful beaches in the world," Long Beach boasts a smooth sandy shore stretching nearly 15 km, clear blue water, and rows of pine trees swaying in the wind. Although there are now many modern resorts, most of Long Beach still retains its gentle natural charm, ideal for swimming, strolling on the sand, or quietly watching the sunset fall on the water's surface.

1.2 Ganh Dau Cape

About 30 km from the center of Duong Dong, Ganh Dau Cape is where you can see the mainland of Cambodia in the distance. The oddly shaped rock formations, interspersed with coconut groves and emerald waters, make this place a favorite check-in spot for many photographers. Many tourists choose to stop by the seaside seafood restaurant to enjoy lunch with Ha Ninh crab and grilled fish seasoned with salt and chili, typical of the Southwestern coast.

Tourists can choose a one-day tour of the North Island of Phu Quoc to visit Long Beach, Ganh Dau Cape, or Rach Vem. These are all iconic destinations representing the original beauty of the pearl island.

1.3 Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc 

Nestled in the green forest area of Bai Dai, Vinpearl Safari is a popular attraction in the northern part of Phu Quoc that delights visitors from all directions. It houses over 3,000 individuals from 150 different species, including many rare ones such as Bengal tigers, white lions, and spiral-horned antelopes… The dedicated bus system takes visitors through the open safari area, providing a feeling of being lost in the African savannah. 

Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc offers an experience that is both educational and entertaining for families with young children.

1.4 Rach Vem Fishing Village 

Rach Vem is one of the oldest fishing villages in Phu Quoc, where wooden houses float on the water, and the sound of waves blends with the laughter of children. In addition to taking photos, visitors can enjoy a fresh seafood meal right on the raft or experience starfish watching during low tide. The simplicity and authenticity of the locals make Rach Vem a beloved "peaceful corner" for many. 

The pristine natural landscape creates a special attraction for the northern part of the island in the heart of the pearl island.

1.5 Vung Bau Beach

Located between Dai Beach and Ganh Dau, Vung Bau Beach is still quite deserted, with a crescent-shaped sandy beach hugging the green forest. This is an ideal place for camping, swimming, or simply lying down to listen to the gentle waves. Many resorts and small homestays have sprung up around this area but still maintain a sufficient distance to not disrupt the characteristic tranquility.
