About

What you need to know

The Phương Mai Dunes rise to a height of 20 to 100 meters above sea level. Their golden and pale sands create a striking contrast with the green casuarina pine trees and the modern infrastructure of nearby wind turbines.

What to see: The summits offer panoramic views of the Nhơn Hội Economic Zone, the Thị Nại Lagoon, and the city of Quy Nhơn itself. The place is popular among photography enthusiasts, especially during the golden hours at sunrise and sunset. You can also try sandboarding here—sliding down the steep sandy slopes on a board.
