- The colonial lighthouse tower — The main draw: a red-brick, French-era tower perched on a rocky outcrop. It’s a real piece of maritime history and you can feel the age and craftsmanship in the masonry and the old lantern room. Climb (if allowed) for the classic lighthouse experience and sweeping sea views.
- Low-tide sand spit walk — At low tide a narrow sandbank or pathway appears, letting you walk from the mainland out toward the lighthouse. It’s a simple, slightly surreal experience — great for photos and feeling like you’ve got the place to yourself. (Personal favorite.)
- Sunrise and sunset panoramas — Open sea horizons and minimal light pollution make this place brilliant for sunrise or late-afternoon light. The colors on the water, the silhouette of the tower and the fishing boats create

- Sunrise and sunset panoramas — Open sea horizons and minimal light pollution make this place brilliant for sunrise or late-afternoon light. The colors on the water, the silhouette of the tower and the fishing boats create postcard-perfect scenes without the crowds.
- Rugged coastline and rock formations — The shore around Kê Gà is a mix of jagged rocks, tide pools and small cliffs that are fun to explore. It’s not tropical-beach smooth — it’s dramatic instead, which makes for better photos and more interesting terrain to poke around.
- Boat trips and local fishing life — Getting out by boat is part of the vibe: fishermen head out early and the small local boats are how you access some viewpoints. Chatting with fisherfolk or buying fresh-caught seafood back on the spit gives a real, unvarnished slice of coastal life.
- Colonial keeper houses and ruins — Near the tower you’ll find old structures and remnants of the lighthouse complex. They’re simple, atmospheric reminders of the place’s past, and make for good exploration without needing a guidebook.
- Birdlife and quiet nature time — The area attracts seabirds and offers stretches of near-empty shoreline for just sitting and watching the sea. It’s a peaceful counterpoint to busier Vietnamese beaches and a good spot to slow down for an hour or two.
