Day 1: White Sand, Fishing Villages, and Night Markets
Morning - Sao Beach
Start your 3 days in Phu Quoc itinerary with a trip to Sao Beach, one of the island’s most iconic stretches of sand. Here, the water is as turquoise as a postcard, and the sand feels like powdered sugar under your feet. Rent a beach chair, order a fresh coconut, or try stand-up paddleboarding in the calm bay.

Afternoon - Ham Ninh Fishing Village
Drive to Ham Ninh Fishing Village, where time seems to slow down. You can stroll along the weathered pier, watch fishermen mend their nets, or sample the famous flower crab served simply steamed with lime and salt. The village is also a great spot for buying dried seafood as souvenirs.
