The Hoang Hau (Queen) Beach in Ghenh Rang in Quy Nhon City in the central province of Binh Dinh is very special with huge egg-shaped stones on the beach.
The beach has the width of 35 hectares and is located 3km south east of Quy Nhon. The arch-shaped beach combines fine white sand and clean blue water.
What make the beach unique and distinct are the round stones like giant bird’s eggs with different shapes and sizes that cover hundreds of square meters. This is why the beach used to be called Da Trung (stone egg) Beach.
The name of Hoang Hau Beach is associated with an event cited on a headstone in dual languages. Legend has it that Hoang Hau Beach was chosen by Queen Nam Phuong, the wife of the last king of feudal Vietnam, Bao Dai, as a perfect place to rest. Its name has become famous among local folk and tourists.
There are stairs leading to the beach where tourists can enjoy cool water and the sound of wind and waves. From the beach visitors can also see Phuong Mai Peninsula and spectacular Thi Nai Bridge.
Tourists can swim in a deep-blue sea or discover the beauty of Ghenh Rang, wonderful rocky cliffs running to the edge of the sea. They also can visit the tomb of Han Mac Tu poet, learning about Prince Palace or discovering spectacular caves on Hon Dat Bi Island.
