1. Binh Ba (Bình Ba)

Binh Ba is a small island set within Cam Ranh Bay (Vịnh Cam Ranh), Khanh Hoa (Khánh Hòa) Province. This island with pristine beaches, white sand dunes, and blue water has not developed tourism; therefore, everything here is natural and unspoiled.

Binh Ba has been known in some recent years; however, it limits the number of Vietnamese tourists and bans foreigners. Also, this island does not allow tourists to stay overnight. Visiting this island, you will have a chance to play many beach games like swimming, campfire, water polo, etc.

Binh Ba Island is also a paradise of fresh seafood. In the morning, the local market opens early and sells some fresh seafood such as lobsters, squid, fish, and oysters.

Binh Lap is beautiful, peaceful and pristine with its refreshing salt-smelling air, sparkling blue water, tranquil shoreline, and white sand.

However, Binh Lap has not been known as a tourist destination. The first reason is that Binh Lap is the poorest village in the Cam Lap (Cam Lập) commune due to the isolated location and inaccessibility to business or tourist opportunities.
