Phu Quoc beach is among Asia's best for a summer getaway

Southeast Asian travel site, Tripzilla, has recently released its list of the 15 best beaches for a summer vacation in Asia, and Sao Beach on the southern island of Phu Quoc has made the cut.


Located approximately 25 km from downtown Phu Quoc, Sao Beach stretches for 7 km along the island's southern tip, boasting pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters.

Despite its popularity during peak season, visitors can still find quiet spots to relax at the south and north ends of the beach. The central area of the beach is particularly popular among tourists, with many water sports facilities and eateries available.

According to Tripzilla, the best time to visit the beach is between November and March, when temperatures are at their most comfortable, ranging from 25 to 28 degrees Celsius. 


Sao Beach derives its name from the Vietnamese word for "star". Local legends suggest that the beach got its name from the thousands of starfish that used to appear on the white sands every sunset. While you may not see quite as many of them these days, there's no denying the enduring allure of Sao Beach.

Phu Quoc, which is also known as the "pearl island", gained international attention following the opening of its international airport in 2012 and its introduction of a 30-day visa-free policy for foreign visitors in 2014.
