Nhon Ly Fishing Village

Nhon Ly Fishing Village is a traditional coastal fishing village located in Nhon Ly Commune, Quy Nhon City, Gia Lai Province, on the Nhon Ly Peninsula about 20 km northeast of central Quy Nhon. It is notable for its colorful fishing boats, basket boats, and active fishing community. The village retains authentic daily fishing life and serves as the gateway to nearby coastal attractions such as Ky Co Beach and Eo Gio.

Visitors can expect a working fishing village with a small harbor filled with colorful wooden fishing boats and round basket boats (thung chai), nets and fishing gear along the shore, and narrow village lanes with local houses. The setting is coastal with sandy shoreline, clear water and views of the peninsula. Visitors can observe fishermen preparing nets, sorting catch in early morning, explore the waterfront on foot, interact with locals, and sample fresh seafood at small local eateries.

Nhon Ly has been a traditional fishing settlement for generations on the Nhon Ly Peninsula, historically part of Binh Dinh Province (now Gia Lai Province after 2025 administrative merger), sustaining livelihoods through coastal fishing and boat building.

The village represents the coastal fishing culture of central Vietnam, with traditions of basket boat use, net fishing, and seafood processing, and maintains a close-knit fishing community lifestyle that is a cultural attraction for visitors.
