Embark on a scenic coastal journey south of Mui Ne and Phan Thiet to discover the historic Ke Ga Lighthouse (Hải Đăng Kê Gà), a striking landmark perched on a small rocky island just off the coast. Built by the French around 1899, it stands as one of the oldest and tallest lighthouses in Vietnam, offering a sense of maritime history and dramatic coastal scenery. Its relatively remote location makes it a rewarding hidden gem destination for a day trip.

Reaching the lighthouse itself involves travelling down the coast (approx. 1-1.5 hours drive from Phan Thiet/Mui Ne) to Ke Ga beach, then arranging a short boat ride or sometimes even wading across at very low tide to reach the island. Once there, you can admire the impressive granite structure up close and, often, climb the spiral staircase inside for breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline, the surrounding sea, and the mainland.

A visit to Ke Ga Lighthouse offers a blend of historical interest, architectural appreciation, and stunning coastal vistas, far from the main Mui Ne tourist buzz. The journey itself down the scenic coastline is enjoyable. Combine it with relaxing on the quieter beaches near Ke Ga for a full day excursion. For those willing to travel beyond Mui Ne's immediate vicinity, the Ke Ga Lighthouse provides a memorable and picturesque hidden gem experience.
