Diep Son Island

Diep Son Island is a small island cluster in Van Ninh District, Khanh Hoa Province, about 40 km north of Nha Trang. It consists of three islets — Hon Bip, Hon Giua and Hon Duoc — linked by a narrow natural sandbar that emerges at low tide. Known for its shallow turquoise water, white sand walkway and traditional fishing village, the island offers a distinctive coastal landscape within Van Phong Bay.

Visitors can expect a low-lying coastal island group in Van Phong Bay with a narrow sand and gravel bar connecting the three islets that is walkable at low tide through shallow, clear seawater. The setting includes sandy beaches, shallow turquoise water, fishing boats, a small inhabited fishing village on Hon Bip, simple homestays and food stalls, and open views of the bay. Exploration is on foot along the beach and sandbar, with swimming and photography in designated shallow areas.

Diep Son has long been inhabited by fishing communities, with Hon Bip as the only permanently inhabited islet. The islands have traditionally supported small-scale fishing and aquaculture within Van Phong Bay.

The island reflects traditional coastal fishing village life in Khanh Hoa Province, with local fishing practices, floating houses, and community-based tourism centered on Hon Bip village.
