Should-try experience when traveling to Hon Nuoc Lighthouse
Travel to Hon Nuoc Lighthouse, visitors will have chance to admire the dreamy landscape of the vast sky and sea. From a high, the area looks like an endless field of stones in many shapes and sizes being "arrayed" on the slight waves. Accidentally, these "army stones" created small depressions in the blue water, where are the refuge and feeding ground of many crabs and small fish.
Besides admiring the magnificent scenery of Hon Nuoc Lighthouse, travelers can also immerse in the clear water at the foot of Go Dua Mountain. The locals called this place Bai Con.
The more it’s sunny, the clearer water is. Travelers can dive into the water to see everything on the seabed. If cannot swim, visitors also can climb the rocks and observe the dreamy charm of the underwater world.
Bai Con has a long sandy beach suitable for those who want to camp overnight and enjoy the sunrise over the sea.
