More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned van and the southern coast of Phu Quoc unfurls: a line of white sand where the sea tugs at your ankles and a string of islets glitter like coins. The day moves like a well-timed postcard — a village market, a pearl farm where oysters are coaxed into gems, the hush of Hộ Quốc Pagoda gardens, then the wide, bright arc of Sao Beach where the water dares you in shades of turquoise.
