Mu Cu Islet
Hòn Mù Cu
A small reef islet at the eastern tip of the main island, connected by a short bridge. At low tide, the reef flats, rock pools and seaweed carpets make for striking photos.
Mu Cu Islet is a small volcanic rock islet at the easternmost point of the main island, reached by a short bridge. It is surrounded by wide, flat volcanic reef flats, which expose many rock pools at low tide where you can see small fish, sea urchins and shellfish. From January to April each year, a layer of green seaweed grows on the rocks and looks like a grassy meadow. A lighthouse stands nearby, and in the evenings it is quiet with few visitors. The rocks are sharp and slippery, so wear non-slip shoes and return before the tide comes in.
