From Nha Trang I took 2 flights (stoped over at Ho Chi Min city for 2 hours) to get to Phu Quoc. I’d been looking forward to Phu Quoc the most out of anywhere in Vietnam mainly because I’d heard the beaches were beautiful. Sadly I had been quite spoilt in the Philippines and it didn’t quite compare (Philippines is just amazing!!) but it was still a really nice island. I stayed on Phu Quoc for 3 nights and it was a really good break from all the madness of the city’s on mainland Vietnam.
My hostel was right by the beach so it was a perfect location. During the day it got so so hot and there really wasn’t any shade or breeze on the beach so you’d have to run along the sand to the sea to try and avoid burning your feet! There was lots of palm trees with swings and cool beach bars with bean bags to hang out on.
Phu Quoc had a pretty good sunset so most evenings we’d watch sunset and enjoy happy hour from about midday!
One day we rented a scooter and went to visit starfish beach which is about a 40 minute drive on the other side of the island. The starfish were so pretty and there was so many!
I also found my favourite restaurant in the whole of Vietnam!! It was called the Saigonese Eatery... I went there twice in 1 day (breakfast and dinner!) and then for breakfast again the day after. I had probably the best eggs benedict I’ve ever had... Really authentic I know!
Another day we went to explore an area of the beach called the ‘golden sand bar’ it was a bit of a miss-sell as the sand on the beach wasn’t golden but there was some really cool architecture, beach huts and sculptures on the beach!
I only have 3 more nights left in Vietnam! My final stop being the capital, Ho Chi Min City.
