Eo Gio

Eo Gió

A sea-carved headland beside Nhơn Lý fishing village, where wind howls through the 'neck' between two mountains. Cliff-top paths offer views of blue water and rocks, making it Quy Nhon's most photogenic viewpoint.

Eo Gió, meaning 'wind mouth,' lies north of Nhơn Lý fishing village, about 20 km northeast of the city center. It is a horseshoe-shaped bay enclosed by two mountains, through whose gap the sea wind rushes, hence the name. The scenic area has built a stone path of about 1 km along the rugged cliffs. On one side are jagged black volcanic rocks and sea caves; on the other, blue water breaks against the reefs. The viewing platform at the end of the path overlooks the whole bay and Nhơn Lý fishing village in the distance, and it is a frequent backdrop in Quy Nhon promotional photos. At low tide you can descend to the pebble beach at the bottom of the bay. Admission is about 25,000 VND. It is open roughly 06:00–18:00, and a visit takes about 1 hour. Eo Gio is usually combined with Ky Co Beach: from Eo Gio you can take the scenic area's off-road vehicle over the mountain to Ky Co, or return to Nhơn Lý and take a speedboat. Nearby, a 10-minute walk takes you to Nhơn Lý fishing village to see the fishing boats and seafood market; a 5-minute drive reaches the Phuong Mai Sand Dunes (sandboarding, best at sunset); and a 10-minute drive reaches the Great Buddha at Linh Phong Pagoda and the famous water temple Tịnh xá Ngọc Hòa, with its double-faced Guanyin statue. Getting there: by motorbike from the city center, about 40 minutes along Thi Nai Bridge and the Phuong Mai Peninsula road; by Grab, about 250,000 VND one way. Day tours include transfers. Notes: on the sea side of the path, some sections have no railings, so do not approach the cliff edge when the wind is strong. At midday there is almost no shade, so bring a hat and water. In the rainy season, waves may splash onto the path.
