By Motorbike – Best for Independent Travelers

By Taxi or Grab – Best for Convenience
A taxi or ride-hailing car is a comfortable choice, especially for couples and first-time visitors. Check the fare before booking. Since return rides from Nhon Ly may be less readily available, consider arranging your return transportation in advance.
By Private Car or Local Tour – Best for Coastal Experiences
If you want to explore Eo Gio and Ky Co without organizing separate transfers, a guided tour can make your trip easier. THICHTOURS offers coastal experiences combining Eo Gio’s dramatic cliffs, time at Ky Co Beach and a local lunch. Travelers can choose between a speedboat adventure with coral snorkeling or a more relaxed journey by road.
What to Do in Nhon Ly Fishing Village
Nhon Ly is worth visiting for more than its location near famous beaches. Take time to experience the village itself before moving on.
Explore the Village’s Narrow Lanes
Wander between colorful houses, small shops and quiet alleys leading toward the sea. Early morning is particularly pleasant for walking and observing local life.
See Traditional Fishing Boats
Along the shoreline, look for fishing boats and Vietnam’s distinctive round basket boats. These vessels reflect the fishing traditions that have shaped coastal communities for generations.
Enjoy Fresh Local Seafood
Seafood is an essential part of the Nhon Ly experience. Ask local restaurants about the day’s fresh catch and confirm prices before ordering, especially for seafood sold by weight.
Visit Eo Gio and Ky Co Beach
Eo Gio is known for its rocky cliffs, coastal walking paths and sweeping ocean views.
