In this article, Rooty Trip will bring you useful information about this beautiful beach, what experiences you should not miss, and some things to know before coming here!
1. Introducing Phu Quoc Long Beach
Truong Beach is known as the largest Phu Quoc beach, standing out with a length of more than 20km, stretching gently from Dinh Cau Cape to the North of An Thoi. This is also the reason why people call this place the familiar name “Truong Beach”.
Truong Beach is divided into two small beaches:
- North Long Beach: Extends from Dinh Cau Port to Eden Resort Phu Quoc about 5km to the south.
- Nam Long Beach: Extends 15km from Eden Resort to north An Thoi.

Long Beach is located on Tran Hung Dao Street, Duong To, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang. Truong Beach is located in an extremely prime location parallel to Tran Hung Dao Street, a route running along the southwest coast of Phu Quoc island.
The advantage of geographical location creates favorable conditions for tourism activities at Long Beach to become even more crowded.

1.2. What does the name Long Beach mean?
The origin of the name Long Beach comes from the outstanding length of this beach. Long Beach owns a white sand beach stretching more than 20km from Dinh Cau Cape to north An Thoi, curving softly to hug the coast. Compared to other beaches in Phu Quoc, Truong Beach stands out with its outstanding length, worthy of the name “Truong” – meaning large.

The period when Phu Quoc is in the rainy season from April to October is also the time when the southwest monsoon is strong, the sea is rough and it rains constantly. Therefore, visiting Long Beach at this time is quite dangerous.

Long Beach always captivates tourists from all over with the dreamy and romantic beauty of the late afternoon, when the sun slowly falls below the sea. Therefore, it would be a pity to miss this experience when traveling to Phu Quoc.
You can both admire and check in at sunset on the beaches or at Sunset Sanato beach – a place famous for its extremely sparkling virtual living corners such as heaven’s gate, stairway to heaven, long-legged elephant,… However, checking in at Sunset Sanato requires visitors to buy an entrance ticket, at a cost of 100,000 VND/person because this is the resort’s beach.
4.2. Swimming
Being one of the most attractive beaches in Phu Quoc, Long Beach is always an ideal destination on hot summer days. The ripples and golden sunlight shining under the clear blue water will help visitors dispel the heat of summer days.
One thing to note when swimming at Long Beach is to choose a beach with a lifeguard team for safety, because the beach here often has large and dangerous waves.

In Long Beach, there are many small beaches that are still wild and have not been exploited much for tourism activities, so they are ideal spaces for picnics.

Of course, each of us should be conscious of protecting the marine environment and clean up after every party.
