What Makes Long Beach the Most Popular Rental Zone on Phu Quoc?
Long Beach — known locally as Bai Truong — runs along the entire western coast of Phu Quoc, from the outskirts of Duong Dong town in the north to Ong Doi Cape in the south. At 20 km long, it is the island's signature coastline and the stretch that defines most visitors' image of Phu Quoc: fine white-to-cream sand, the occasional casuarina pine leaning over the water's edge, and a sky that turns deep orange over the Gulf of Thailand every single evening.
The beach faces west, which means sunset views are built into your stay — not something you have to hike to find. The northern half, centred around Tran Hung Dao Street, is the most developed: lined with seafood restaurants, beach bars, dive shops, massage parlours, tour booking desks, motorbike hire shops, and ATMs. The southern half becomes progressively more spacious and relaxed, with longer gaps between properties and clearer, calmer water.
Water temperature on Long Beach stays between 27°C and 29°C year-round. The sea is clearest and calmest from November to April (dry season), when beach conditions are perfect for swimming, snorkelling from the shore, and paddleboarding. From May to October, afternoon rain showers are common and there are occasional jellyfish weeks, but the beach remains swimmable on most days — and rental prices drop by 20–30%.
Who Is Long Beach Phu Quoc Best Suited To?
Long Beach is the default choice for the majority of first-time visitors to Phu Quoc — and for good reason. The combination of beach access, walking-distance restaurants, and a wide range of rental types makes it the easiest area to land in without any prior island knowledge.
First-Time Visitors
Everything you need is within walking distance — restaurants, ATMs, pharmacies, tour desks, and the beach itself. No motorbike required for the first few days. You can explore and then decide whether to move to a quieter zone.
Couples (Social)
If you want sunsets at a beach bar followed by fresh seafood, Long Beach delivers every night. The northern strip has the most atmosphere; couples who want more quiet should consider the southern end or Ong Lang instead.
Families & Groups
Private pool villas are available from $180/night for 4–8 guests — splitting the cost makes Long Beach excellent value. The beach is calm in the dry season and suitable for children. Multiple villa sizes available for groups of 4–14.
Korean Travellers
Korean tourists are the highest-volume visitor group on Phu Quoc, and the Long Beach strip has the most Korean-language menus, Korean BBQ restaurants, and Korean-owned guesthouses. Our team responds in Korean 한국어 24/7.
