Con Son Beach (Con Dao, HCMC)
Once known as a place where prisoners were held for decades, Con Dao today draws visitors with its scenery, beaches, and ecosystem. Vietnamese travelers tend to know Con Dao for its historical significance, while international visitors remain relatively few, making it a choice for those seeking tranquility.
Con Son is the largest island in a cluster of 15 islands and islets, ringed by white sand beaches, coral reefs, and bays. Much of the island remains covered in tropical forest.
