Nature also favors Ky Co Beach Quy Nhon with a creative space, consisting of large and small rocks stacked together creating many crevices and rock pits. The high tide brings water rushing in between them, not drifting away, creating beautiful “pools” that can accommodate 5-7 people, suitable for families with young children. Meanwhile, when the tide recedes, a small road is revealed, weaving between the cliffs and the large rocks protrude like small towers. Surely you will enjoy playing with the waves, admiring the colorful coral reefs, or flipping the seaweed to catch small sea creatures.
But if you are tired of getting wet, you can also walk barefoot on Ky Co Beach, following the rows of coconut trees and watching the sunrise or sunset.
