( Date 01/07/2009 )Pristine Phu Quy Island beckons city-weary adventurers

A stunning beach of Phu Quy island of the central coastal province of Binh Thuan.
Phu Quy island, in the Phan Thiet sea, lies between the mainland and Truong Sa Archipelago, 120 kilometers from Phan Thiet city. It is one of the most-visited destinations in the area as the island’s stunning beaches, forests and pristine landscapes offer an ideal summer getaway.

Phu Quy is surrounded by nine islets. Among them, Hon Tranh is an attractive eco-tourist venue with white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and thriving coral reefs. Hon Chim is home to a kind of bird named mo. In breeding season, this islet is covered with birds. Hon Ran is a habitat for many kinds of snakes, some of them rare. Hon Trung is a real work of art with thousands of colorful rocks sparkling under the sun.

Phu Quy is one of the most important fishing grounds in the central coastal province of Binh Thuan. Squid, snapper, grouper, tuna and shark are the most common marine animals here.

The island is home to nearly 25,000 residents. Most of them earn a living by fishing and cultivating marine products.

On the island, tourists may choose to get lost for a time among the endless green casuarinas trees.

Seafood prepared in indigenous styles of the island is another attraction that tourists should not miss.
