Three beach days on Phú Quý, the way most people go
Three days following the most-mentioned places: the first afternoon at Triều Dương and Bãi Nhỏ – Gành Hang, the second morning by boat to Hòn Tranh as most sources do and a slow afternoon at an embankment café, the last morning up to Linh Sơn pagoda; never more than two sights a day.
Day 1
MorningMiddayCot Buom RestaurantThe first lunch is at a seafood restaurant on Trần Hưng Đạo street, open since mid-2018 and quieter at weekday lunchtime; portions are big, so a small party should order few dishes. AfternoonTrieu Duong Beach11 of 16 sources include Triều Dương Bay and 5 of the 7 that name a time of day put it in the afternoon; a small swimming beach on the south shore with calm blue water, facing Hòn Tranh, which shelters the bay from the wind. Nho Beach – Ganh Hang14 of 16 sources include Bãi Nhỏ – Gành Hang and 9 of the 10 that name a time of day put it in the afternoon; park on the road, walk the footpath down to the rock pools below the cliff, wear shoes with good grip and leave the rocks before it is fully dark. EveningBao Boi Seafood RestaurantDinner at a spacious seafood restaurant with two street fronts, where live seafood is picked from the tanks and weighed on the spot; the menu has many dishes named for the island, such as hand-pounded squid cake and cobia hotpot.

MiddayHoa Thuong Fresh BeefIf the boat package does not include lunch on the islet, come back to the garden-style beef place near Tam Thanh market and grill fresh beef over charcoal at the table for a change from the seafood meals. AfternoonPassion CoffeeA slow afternoon in the island centre: a large, airy café with a wide front on Võ Văn Kiệt street, busiest early in the morning and nearly empty around midday. Aquavista coffeeA café with an open-air terrace on the Ngũ Sắc embankment, looking out over the breakwater and moored boats, which many visitors praise as airy, cool and quiet.
