About Sao Beach
Sao Beach (Bai Sao) is a well-known white-sand beach on the southeastern coast of Phu Quoc Island in An Thoi Ward, Phu Quoc City, An Giang Province. It is noted for its fine powdery white sand, clear turquoise water, gentle shallow shoreline and palm-fringed crescent shape. Consistently ranked among Phu Quoc's most scenic beaches, it offers a tranquil setting for swimming and relaxation away from the island's more developed western coast.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a curved stretch of fine white sand bordered by palm trees and calm, clear shallow water ideal for wading and swimming. The beach has a relaxed resort atmosphere with sun loungers, beachfront restaurants and bars, and views of small offshore islets. The northern end is more developed with resorts and water sports operators, while the southern end is quieter. Facilities for changing, showering and dining are available along the shore.
