Adventure Travel & Ecotourism, Things To Do and Tourist Attractions in Phu Yen

1/ The beaches

It is hard to say how many beaches are there in Phu Yen but most of the coast in Phu Yen in between Binh Dinh to Khanh Hoa is sandy beaches. Some of the beaches stretch for a few dozen kilometers and the sea water is turquoise blue. It is ironic that Phu Yen is not visited much by either Vietnamese tourists or foreign visitors. It is possible that transport to Phu Yen is not convenient. Things are changing nowadays for certain and Phu Yen is getting the status it deserves on the Vietnam tourism map.
