Phu Quoc: An Thoi

From Long Beach there is a road that goes straight to the south of the island. At the Southern tip of the island there is a town called An Thoi, famous for its fish sauce.

While you travel south -- which you can do on a motorbike, on a taxi or on a mini bus --- you will see how long Long Beach actually is. Most part of this beach has not been spoiled by tourism (yet). You will see that as you leave your hotel, there is still a lot of virgin land. Most hotels and tourists resorts are located next to Duong Dong, the farther south, the less hotels you will see. I was told that big tourism companies are spending big dollars in buying plots of land next to the beach, so things may change in the coming future.

In Anthoi there is not much to see. You can visit one of the sauce companies, go to a local market, and visit its harbor. It is here that you take ferries to the continent. It is also here where you can take a boat to visit one of the smaller islands south of Phu Quoc.
