Cua Can Fishing Village

Cua Can Fishing Village is a destination for those who love tranquility and untouched landscapes. This small village nestles quietly along the coast, with simple wooden bridges built only for motorbikes and pedestrians. The Cua Can River flows through the area, winding its way past the lush Phu Quoc National Park.

One of the most enjoyable activities here is paddling a kayak or a basket boat while soaking in the calm and serene atmosphere. Visitors can also observe the local way of life, especially during the bustling hours when boats full of freshly caught seafood arrive at the docks.

Rach Vem Fishing Village

Rach Vem is often referred to as the kingdom of red starfish, with its endless beaches and crystal-clear waters. The best time to visit this village is during the dry season from November to April, when the weather is pleasant, and the sea is calm. This is also when the red starfish gather in large numbers along the shore.
