Located about 25 km northeast of Quy Nhon's center, Ky Co in Nhon Ly island commune embraces a captivating beauty thanks to the rocky mountains, stretches of white sand, and deep clear emerald sea water.

Ky Co Beach is well-known for calm turquoise sea and rocky mountains.

The most special feature of Ky Co is definitely the two distinct shades of green/blue water, prominent against its white sand.

The coast is curved like a crescent with three sides bordering the mountains and one side skirting the sea, facing out to the rocks, which might give you the impression of visiting a private island.

The large and sharp rocks allow for beautiful pools to form as the tide rises, with low tide exposing many caves.

From Ky Co Beach, you can rent a canoe to explore the coral at Bai Dua, Hon Kho or Hon Sao islets. Many visitors here go for the special diving service that allows you to walk under the sea among the swimming fish, kitted out with an air tank, helmet, and underwater photography gear.

In addition, tourists can rent a jet ski, a boat to go fishing, or follow local fishermen out to sea. Or, if you are more laid back, just laze on the beach watching the turquoise sea water and listening to the crashing waves.

Sea urchins is a specialty of Ky Co.

There is a long wooden bridge in the middle of the beach, from which people used to jump. Now, however, only photography is allowed here. Near the end of the day, the wind gets stronger and the waves louder on Ky Co.

To fully experience the beauty of Ky Co, spend at least half a day here. Do not miss the spectacular sunrise or sunset, and do not forget to visit nearby attraction Eo Gio Bay.
