Cu Lao Cau, also known as Hon Cau (Cau Island), is located around ten kilometers off the mainland in Tuy Phong District, Binh Thuan Province, 275 kilometers northeast of Ho Chi Minh City.
The sparsely populated island boasts not only beautiful nature but also a diverse marine ecosystem, with sea turtles often coming on its beaches to lay eggs.
Cu Lao Cau has been dubbed a ‘stone kingdom’ with thousands of natural towering rocks scattered on the island.
The best time to visit Cu Lao Cau is said to be in the first half of a lunar year when the weather seems perfect for a retreat.
Visitors need to ask authorities for permission to stay overnight on the island because the place is under the management of border guards.
There are no accommodation services on the island so travelers need to prepare their own food and camping tents if they plan to spend the night here.
Visitors can depart for Cu Lao Cau from local seaports in Binh Thuan.
