Discover arguably Phu Quoc's most visually stunning beach at Bai Sao (Star Beach), located on the island's southeastern coast. This beach consistently ranks among the most beautiful in Vietnam, famed primarily for its incredibly fine, soft, powdery white sand – often likened to cream or flour – and its calm, shallow, brilliant turquoise waters. The picturesque curve of the bay, fringed by palm trees (including some iconic leaning ones perfect for photos), creates a postcard-perfect tropical scene.

The exceptionally calm and clear waters of Sao Beach make it ideal for swimming, wading far out from shore, and simply relaxing in the beautiful sea, particularly suitable for families with young children. Loungers and umbrellas are available for rent, and several beachfront restaurants offer fresh seafood and refreshments with stunning views. While relaxation is key, basic water activities like kayaking might sometimes be available depending on vendors present.

Due to its fame, Sao Beach can get quite crowded, especially during peak season and midday. Issues with rubbish washing ashore can occasionally occur depending on currents and time of year, though efforts are often made to maintain its beauty (as of April 2025). Despite potential crowds, its exceptional sand quality and stunning water colour make Bai Sao a must-visit destination for beach lovers wanting to experience Phu Quoc's most celebrated natural beauty. Visiting earlier in the day is often recommended.
