Binh Ba island

Binh Ba is a small island off the coast of Cam Binh, around 60 kilometers from Nha Trang. The island is known as "Lobster Island" because it has a long history of providing the freshest and most delectable lobsters to the Khanh Hoa region.

It used to be under the jurisdiction of the army and was just recently released to the public, yet it is still unspoilt and beautiful, with simple characteristics. The beauty of nature is beautifully preserved here, attracting hundreds of visitors. It has everything you might want in a vacation destination: sunshine, blue skies, soft white sands, and a breathtaking coastline.

Travelers visiting Binh Ba will have the opportunity to sample the best seafood (particularly lobsters) at the most affordable prices. More interestingly, guests can go on the boats and pick their own sea critters to acquire the freshest seafood. These critters will then be prepared and offered to culinary enthusiasts directly on the boats, or even on the... sea! (This means you'll be wearing a life jacket and floating in the water while eating fish! (Doesn't it sound enticing?).

Binh Ba Island is also a must-visit for anyone looking to get away from the noise and bustle of the city. Binh Ba beach, which is located far from the residential area, is known for its pure beauty and lack of crowds.

The best time to visit is from March through September. The weather will be warm enough for swimming and lobster catching throughout these months.

At least one day on Binh Ba Island is recommended.
