Bai Truong, known in English as Long Beach, runs for many kilometres along Phu Quoc's west coast from just south of Duong Dong past the airport, making it the island's longest and most developed stretch of beach. Facing west, it is one of the best places on the island for sunsets.
The section in front of the big resorts such as Pullman and InterContinental has fairly calm water, beach bars and beach clubs, good for strolling, swimming and sunset drinks.
- Location: west coast, from south of Duong Dong to the south-west
- From central Duong Dong: about 5–15 minutes by car to the main access points
- Best time: sunset; dry season November–April
What to expect
The beach changes character along its length: the northern end near Duong Dong is busy with restaurants, bars and hotels, while further south come the big resorts and quieter sand. The beach is wide with soft sand and plenty of palms.
Sunset
Find a spot about an hour before sunset to watch the colours change, ideally at a beach bar. Check the sunset time for your date.
Sunset bars on Long Beach: Sunset Beach Bar, La Veranda Beach Bar, Sunset Sanato and Sailing Club.
