Ham Ninh Fishing Village
A working fishing village on the east coast, with a long pier out over shallow water, stilt houses and seafood restaurants selling crab and shellfish landed the same morning. Considerably more ordinary and more real than the island's resort strip.

Ham Ninh Fishing Village is one of the places most visitors to Phu Quoc make time for. Vietnam's largest island, in the Gulf of Thailand: white-sand beaches, a national park over half its area, and a dry season while the mainland is wet.
Before you go: Best around sunrise or in the late afternoon when the boats come in. Seafood is priced by weight — confirm the rate and the total before ordering.
