VÔNG BEACH

In the northeast of the island, Vong Beach is a wide arc of sand backed by dense jungle. Vong Beach is on the opposite side of the airport runway from Dam Trau. But, while Dam Trau is sheltered from the northeast winds, Vong Beach is quite exposed and can become rough during the northeast monsoon months (October to March). The seascape is very dramatic as the beach is bookended by steep, rocky cliffs. Vong Beach can be accessed via dirt paths that lead down from the coast road, but it’s easiest at the southern end where the road runs closest to the sea.
