Highlight
The sunset is Trường Beach’s signature. Every evening, locals and travelers gather along the shore as the sun melts into the sea, casting gold and violet hues over anchored boats and palm-lined sands—a moment that defines Phú Quốc’s island charm.
The best season to visit is from November to April, when the dry weather brings calm seas, golden light, and ideal swimming conditions.
Attribute
Facing west over the Gulf of Thailand, Trường Beach offers calm, shallow waters and steady sea breezes most of the year. Though long, the beach is not very wide, giving it an intimate coastal feel. The seabed deepens gradually, making it safe for wading and beginner swimmers.
Dry Season (Nov – Apr): Light wind from the northeast, gentle currents, and smooth water—perfect for swimming and paddleboarding.
Rainy Season (May – Oct): Winds shift southwest, bringing stronger waves, moderate currents, and occasional seaweed drift.
Activity
Daytime is for swimming, kayaking, and leisurely walks along the golden shore. Visitors can rent loungers, sip coconut water, or enjoy seafood from nearby vendors—remember to help keep the beach clean and avoid leaving plastic waste behind. Respect private resort areas, and always swim within safe zones.
Evening transforms the area: beach bars and cafés light up as the sun sets, serving cocktails and soft music by the sea. It’s a peaceful time when locals and travelers gather to unwind—keep the atmosphere calm by avoiding loud noise and respecting others enjoying the sunset.
