Bãi Trường, also known as Long Beach, is a 20-kilometer stretch of white sand along the southwest coast of Phu Quoc Island. It is the most popular beach on the island, offering a mix of resorts, restaurants, and untouched natural beauty. The beach is known for its spectacular sunsets, with the sun dipping into the Gulf of Thailand. The water is generally calm, making it great for swimming. What makes it distinctive is its length and variety: from bustling areas with water sports to quiet coves for solitude. You'll see fishing boats dotting the horizon and can enjoy fresh seafood at beachfront shacks. The beach is also a prime spot for watching the sunset, with many bars and cafes offering sunset views.
