Hon Kho Island
Hòn Khô
A small island off Nhơn Hải fishing village, with clear shallows and coral visible at low tide, one of Quy Nhon's most popular snorkelling spots.
Hon Kho Island lies off Nhơn Hải fishing village at the southern tip of the Phương Mai Peninsula. A bamboo basket boat or small boat from the village takes only a few minutes to reach it. The water around the island is clear, and coral and tropical fish can be seen in the shallows. At low tide the exposed reefs and a near-shore 'sea walkway' become a popular photo spot. There is a simple restaurant on the island, and you can eat seafood on a floating raft. Many village houses display painted fishing-net murals, which gives the place a rustic atmosphere. Snorkelling and boat fares are about 100,000–200,000 VND per person (confirm locally). From the city, it is about 30 minutes by bike across the Thị Nại Bridge. It is often visited as a separate half-day trip from Kỳ Co and Goose Lake. Coral is fragile, so do not step on it.
