Diep Son Island
Đảo Điệp Sơn
A group of small islands in Van Phong Bay. At low tide, a sandbar emerges to connect the islands, and walking between two stretches of sea is a popular photo experience.
Diep Son Island lies in Van Phong Bay, about 60 km north of Nha Trang. It consists of three small islands. The best known feature is a sandbar about 700 meters long and only a few meters wide that emerges at low tide to connect the islands. Visitors can walk along it with sea water on both sides, a truly unique sight. The island's water is clear, making it good for swimming, snorkeling and seafood. The islanders live simple lives. You reach the island by boat from the pier in Van Gia town, Van Ninh district, which takes about 30 minutes. It is best to check tide times in advance, since low tide usually occurs in the morning. A one-way chartered car from Nha Trang takes about 1.5 hours. The trip suits day outings or local tour groups. Facilities are limited, so bring your own sunscreen.
