Cu Lao Cau Island
Cù Lao Câu
An uninhabited island off Tuy Phong with colorful rock formations, coral and clear water that rival those of remote islands. Suited to a day boat trip and snorkeling.
Cu Lao Cau lies about 9 km offshore from Phuoc The commune in Tuy Phong district. It covers roughly 1 square km and has no permanent residents. Its shores are lined with colorful boulders and pebbles shaped by the waves, and there are coral reefs nearby. The water is so clear that the island is a snorkeling and photography hideaway in Binh Thuan Province. Visitors usually take a speedboat from Phuoc The pier for about 20 to 30 minutes. Most people join a day tour that includes boat tickets, snorkeling gear and lunch, and it can be combined with Co Thach Pagoda on the same day. The island has basic facilities, so bring your own drinking water and sunscreen. During the northeast monsoon season, roughly October to February, strong winds and waves often suspend sailings, so check before setting out.
