Unlike other beaches, Bai Sao has not been exploited for tourism much, so it still retains its inherent wild beauty. This name Bai Sao has a very interesting origin.

Every time night falls on Phu Quoc island, there are tens of thousands of starfish moving ashore and covering an area of white sand, so the people here have named this beach Bai Sao.

The sandy shore at Bai Sao has a very specific color that nowhere else has it. Not as dark as Vung Tau beach, nor as shiny as Nha Trang beach.

Bai Sao beach of Phu Quoc has a smooth white cream color that looks extremely pleasing to the eyes, stretching and winding in an arc, nestled in the heart of two mountain ranges by the sea. This is a place to visit Phu Quoc not to be missed.
