What Makes Phước Bình Beach Special
Phuoc Binh Beach is a quiet stretch of coastline in Ba Ria–Vung Tau province located between the fishing communities of Phuoc Tinh and Long Hai. The beach runs for roughly four kilometers along a gently curving shoreline facing the open sea. Unlike the busy resort beaches of Vung Tau city, this area remains closely tied to local fishing life. Basket boats and small fishing vessels line parts of the sand in the mornings, and the rhythm of the day is determined more by the tides and returning fishermen than by tourism. Although a few small resorts have appeared in the surrounding area in recent years, the beach itself still feels lightly developed and relatively uncrowded.

How to Get There
🚗 Getting There
Phuoc Binh Beach is located in the coastal area between Phuoc Tinh village and Long Hai town in Ba Ria–Vung Tau province. From Ho Chi Minh City the journey is about 110–120km and typically takes around two to three hours depending on traffic. The usual route follows National Highway 51 toward Ba Ria city, then Provincial Road 44 toward Long Hai. From Long Hai or Phuoc Tinh village, several small coastal roads lead directly to the beach. The coastline sits on the route between Long Hai and Ho Tram, making it an easy stop when exploring this part of the southern coast.
What to Expect
👀 On the Ground
The beach is broad and shallow, with a mix of sand and occasional rocky patches along the four-kilometer shoreline. In the early morning hours the beach is active as fishermen return from overnight fishing trips, pulling boats onto the sand and sorting the catch. Later in the day the area becomes much quieter. Because the beach is closely connected to the fishing community of Phuoc Tinh, parts of the shoreline may show signs of everyday fishing activity and are not maintained as a tourist beach. For visitors seeking quiet coastal scenery rather than resort facilities, the long open shoreline and relatively low visitor numbers are part of the appeal.
Travel Tips
🧳 Tips
Phuoc Binh Beach works best as a quiet stop while exploring the coastline between Long Hai, Phuoc Tinh, and Ho Tram. Travelers looking for lively beach resorts may prefer nearby destinations, but those who enjoy less crowded coastal landscapes will appreciate the slower pace here. The beach is exposed to south and southwest winds during the summer monsoon season, which occasionally makes the area suitable for activities such as kitesurfing. With its long shoreline, nearby fishing villages, and relatively light development, the area still retains some of the atmosphere of a traditional fishing coast just a short distance from Ho Chi Minh City.
