Hon Ba Island
Hòn Bà
A small island off the southwest of Con Son Island, home to a little temple dedicated to 'Ba', with waters good for snorkeling.
Hon Ba lies in open sea off the southwest tip of Con Son Island. A small temple stands on the island, and legend links it to a figure called Phi Yen. Fishermen often come to pray here before heading out to sea. The reefs and corals around the island are dense and the water is clear, making it a good place for snorkeling and fishing. It can be viewed from the Shark Cape area. Reaching it requires a chartered boat. The trip is short, but sea conditions change quickly, so always wear a life jacket and follow the boatmen's instructions.
