Bai Dai stretches along the North Island’s west coast, famous for soft white sand and fiery sunsets – the perfect end to a North Island day.
Bai Dai lies on the north-west coast of Phu Quoc near Ganh Dau. It is a long beach of fine white sand and clear water, with many stretches still unspoilt. Facing west, it is one of the island’s best sunset spots.
Why go to Bai Dai?
- White sand and clear blue water in the dry season (roughly November – April).
- The sun sets straight into the sea with nothing in the way.
- Many quiet stretches for those who like peace.
Tips
- Arrive around 16:30 for a swim, then stay for the sunset.
- In the southwest monsoon (roughly June – September) there can be waves; watch the warning flags.
- Some beach access is through resorts; use public paths or beachfront cafés.
- Bring water and sunscreen; if riding a scooter, head back before dark.
