Things to Do

Relax on the Beach

Ke Ga Beach features soft sand, gentle waves during calm weather, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it suitable for swimming, walking, or simply enjoying the coastal scenery.

Visit Ke Ga Lighthouse

The nearby lighthouse is one of the oldest in Vietnam and remains the area's most recognisable landmark. Local boats usually provide access to the small island when sea conditions allow.

Explore the Rocky Coast

Large granite boulders create distinctive coastal landscapes, especially at sunrise and sunset. The rocks are popular with photographers looking for dramatic seascapes.

Enjoy Fresh Seafood

Several local restaurants and seafood stalls serve freshly caught fish, squid, shrimp, and shellfish from nearby fishing communities.

Landscape

Ke Ga Beach is characterised by a combination of sandy shoreline, weathered granite rocks, and shallow coastal waters. Offshore, Ke Ga Island rises from the sea with its famous lighthouse overlooking the surrounding coastline. Compared with the busier beaches around Mui Ne, Ke Ga offers a quieter setting where natural scenery remains the main attraction.

How to Get There

Ke Ga Beach is about 30 km south of Phan Thiet and can be reached by car or motorbike via National Highway 1 and provincial roads. Many travellers combine Ke Ga with a visit to the lighthouse or include it as a stop on a coastal road trip between Ho Chi Minh City and Mui Ne.

Travel Tips

• Visit early in the morning or late afternoon for cooler temperatures and better lighting.
• Check sea conditions before taking a boat to Ke Ga Lighthouse.
• Wear suitable footwear when walking on the granite rocks.
• Bring sun protection, as shade along the beach is limited.
• Help keep the beach clean by taking all rubbish with you.
