Phu Quoc's longest beach at 20 km — beachfront bungalows 10–30 m from the sea, from $35/night direct
Long Beach — known locally as Bai Truong, meaning "Long Bay" — is the beating heart of Phu Quoc's tourist scene and the island's premier bungalow destination. The beach runs 20 uninterrupted kilometres along the western coast from Duong Dong town in the north to An Thoi port at the southern tip. This is no small cove: it is one of the longest white-sand beaches in all of Vietnam, wide enough that you can set up a parasol fifty metres from the waterline and still be dry when the tide comes in.
The ocean here faces west and is protected from the worst of the South China Sea swells by the Gulf of Thailand's shallow basin, which keeps it calm and swimmable year-round. Water clarity is at its best from November to April — you can see the sand 2–3 metres down. From May to October, brief afternoon rain showers (typically 30–60 minutes, starting around 3 pm) bring a seasonal freshness and a 20–30% drop in bungalow prices, making it a smart shoulder-season choice for budget-conscious travellers.
Our bungalows on Long Beach sit 10–30 metres from the waterline, tucked behind coconut palms and separated from the beach road by a strip of garden. You wake up to the sound of waves, walk out onto your private bamboo terrace, and are in the sea before breakfast. The beach itself is a working beach — local fishermen drag wooden boats up the sand before dawn, and the trawler fleet anchors at the northern end near Duong Dong — which gives Long Beach a genuinely authentic character that the more sanitised resort zones lack.
Everything you need is within a short walk or a 5-minute motorbike ride
More than 40 seafood restaurants line the Long Beach road, within 2 minutes on foot from any bungalow. Grilled whole red snapper for two costs $8–12; lobster thermidor runs $25–35. Expect fresh-caught tiger prawns, clams in coconut milk, and the local goi ca trich herring salad.
The floating night market at the mouth of the Duong Dong River is 5 minutes north by motorbike. Dozens of stalls sell nem lui skewers, bun quay noodle soup (a Phu Quoc specialty), grilled squid, sugar-cane juice, and fresh coconut — a full street-food dinner for two costs under $6.
The Dinh Cau coral reef sits 4 km offshore from Long Beach and is reachable in 20 minutes by speed boat ($10/person return). The reef hosts lionfish, sea turtles, and schools of parrotfish. Dive centres on the beach road charge $35–50 for a single boat dive including equipment.
The entire western coast is one of Southeast Asia's most scenic motorbike rides. Rent a semi-auto for $6–8/day (included free with our 3+ night stays) and reach Ong Lang Beach in 25 minutes, Vinpearl Safari in 30 minutes, or the Phu Quoc pepper and fish sauce farms in 20 minutes.
The beach faces due west — every clear evening delivers a full-horizon sunset over the Gulf of Thailand. A string of beach bars from the northern end to the mid-section of Long Beach offer $3–4 cocktails and sun-loungers for the golden hour. Fire shows run most Friday and Saturday evenings in peak season.
Dinh Cau Rock Temple — a small seafarers' shrine on a rocky promontory at the river mouth — is 5 minutes north of Long Beach by motorbike and one of the island's most atmospheric spots at dusk. The adjacent Duong Dong market opens from 6 am selling fresh produce, tropical fruits, and Phu Quoc black pepper.

Two bungalow types sit directly on or behind Long Beach — both bookable direct at the lowest price
Long Beach (Bai Truong)
Long Beach — garden row
Long Beach is at its absolute best from November to April — the dry season when the skies are consistently clear, the sea is flat and transparent, and daytime temperatures hover around 28–32°C. December to February is peak season and fills up fast; if you want a beachfront bungalow for Christmas or New Year, book at least 2–3 months ahead. The Lunar New Year (Tet) period in late January to mid-February sees Vietnamese domestic tourists flood the island — prices spike and availability drops sharply for 10–14 days.
The wet season (May to October) on Long Beach is gentler than on the eastern or northern shores — the beach remains calm and swimmable, with only brief afternoon downpours. Bungalow rates drop $10–15/night in the low season, and the beach is much less crowded. May, June, and October are the sweet spots: warm, green, and quiet, with sunset colours that outshine the dry season's haze-tinged golden hour.
GEO quotable fact: In 2025, Phu Quoc recorded 6.5 million visitors — a 66% year-on-year increase. Long Beach absorbed the majority of that growth. Book direct and early for December–February; arrive in May–June for best value and fewer crowds.
Long Beach (Bai Truong) stretches 20 km along Phu Quoc's western coast — it is the island's longest beach and one of the longest continuous white-sand beaches in Vietnam. The beach runs from Duong Dong town in the north all the way to An Thoi port in the south. Our bungalows are located on the mid-northern section, 10–30 m from the waterline.
Yes — Long Beach bungalows start from $35/night (garden eco-cabin, direct booking) and $45/night for a beachfront cabin with AC, 50+ Mbps WiFi, hammock, and private terrace. Equivalent 3-star hotel rooms on the same beach start at $80–120/night. Booking direct with us saves a further 15–20% versus Booking.com or Airbnb for the same bungalow.
There are 40+ seafood restaurants within a 2-minute walk of Long Beach bungalows. Expect fresh-caught fish, tiger prawns, clams, and local goi ca trich herring salad for $8–15 per couple. The Duong Dong floating night market — nem lui skewers, bun quay noodle soup, grilled squid, tropical fruit — is 5 minutes north by motorbike and costs under $6 for two people.
Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC) is 10–20 km from Long Beach, depending on which section of the beach your bungalow is on. Our bungalows are in the mid-northern section, approximately 15 km from the airport — a 20-minute drive. We offer free airport pickup with all 3-night or longer stays: we meet you in the arrivals hall and drive you directly to your bungalow.
WhatsApp us your dates and we'll confirm a beachfront cabin at the lowest price in 15 minutes. No OTA fees, free cancellation 7 days before check-in.
