Watch the dusk at Long Beach As its name suggests, Long Beach has a long coastline, with 20 kilometers in length. Thus, visitors will have plenty of space to gather and relax.

After the sundown, you should head towards Phu Quoc Night Market to have dinner with your sweetheart or family members.
 
Explore the underwater world by diving and snorkeling
  If the depth of the ocean is what you are fond of, then diving and snorkeling should be listed to your itinerary. There is nothing greater than swimming with many colorful types of fish while immersing yourself in alluring coral reefs. There are many islands for you to experience this activity, such as Hon Thom, Hon Dau, etc. Most of the resorts in Phu Quoc provide tourists with diving and snorkeling packages. A half-day snorkeling trip could contain a visit to floating fishing villages, pearl farms, and a few hours of diving in Bai Sao.
 
Visit Coconut Tree Prison
  Though considered the hell on Earth in the past, Coconut tree prison still catches tourists’ attention since it is where they may learn more about the will and energy of Vietnamese soldiers during the war. The painful history and Vietnamese’s sacrifice in that sorrowful period were obviously resurgent through exhibits, pictures, and even posthumous writing of communists. Some visitors might not hold their tears after seeing these relics. By and large, it is a must-see place you should not miss!

Moreover, Phu Quoc National Park also proves to be an attractive destination for travelers, because it provides them with lots of adventurous activities (i.e. trekking, swimming, and camping). If you wish to study a wide variety of tropical forests, come here!
 
Arrive in one Fish Sauce Factory

Enjoy Phu Quoc seafood at Dinh Cau night market
 
Situated on Vo Thi Sau Street, Duong Dong Village, Phu Quoc District, Kien Giang Province, the Dinh Cau night market certainly blows your mind with the diversity and large amounts of fresh seafood.

If you want to enjoy something easy to swallow, try a bowl of noodle soup with yellow Vietnamese fish. The art of cuisine on this island is highlighted with heavy spices and simple cook styles, but still remains the intact sea flavor for every dish. Unless your stomach is full, you find it hard to say NO to all of these appetizing dishes.
  After eating, you can continue to leisurely wander around the market. Colorful souvenir stalls may catch your sight, due to plenty of hand-made arts and handicrafts, like pearl rings, pearl necklaces, bangles and bracelets, pen containers, hairbrushes, ashtrays, etc. These definitely become nice gifts for friends, partners, and families after returning from a long vacation.
