1. About Ke Ga Cape

During your trip to Phan Thiet, be sure to visit Ke Ga Cape, a tranquil destination just 30 kilometers to the south. Ke Ga Cape, also known as Hon Ba, is located in Tan Thanh Commune, Ham Thuan Nam District, Binh Thuan Province.

This small island is situated about 500 meters from the mainland. At high tide, it becomes isolated, surrounded by the sea; at low tide, a sand strip appears, connecting it to land.

The name Ke Ga Cape comes from Cam Ke Mountain, known for flocks of wild chickens with colorful feathers that live by freshwater streams flowing into the sea. Around March and April in the lunar calendar, the water recedes, exposing a sandy path from shore to island. Fishermen often see these chickens by the freshwater, leading to the name “Ke Khe.”

2. Unmissable highlights of Ke Ga Cape

2.1. Breathtaking scenery

Ke Ga Cape fascinates visitors with its rugged shoreline, where rocks of all shapes and sizes form a unique “stone garden” that resembles a “battlefield.” Here, stones—round, square, long, and short—are arranged in a seemingly random yet strikingly artistic way that captivates all who visit.

Renowned as one of the best spots to watch the sunrise in Binh Thuan, Ke Ga Cape rewards early risers around 4:30 AM with a breathtaking view. Climbers gather on the highest rock to wait for the sun, and as it begins to rise, the landscape glows a warm red, with clouds taking on fantastical shapes in the dawn light.

2.2. Vietnam’s oldest lighthouse

Ke Ga Lighthouse, the most famous spot at Ke Ga Cape, was built by the French in 1897 to aid ships with navigation. Standing 65 meters above sea level with a 35-meter stone tower, it features a 183-step spiral steel staircase that leads to a panoramic 360-degree view of the magnificent landscape.

This lighthouse stands out for its classic European architecture, blending harmoniously with the island’s natural rock formations. Made from granite, its colors match seamlessly with the nearby massive stones, creating a picture-perfect scene.

The calm atmosphere and cool breeze around Ke Ga Cape make the area around the lighthouse ideal for an overnight camping experience. Visitors can stargaze, enjoy the moonlight, and witness a breathtaking sunrise over the cape.
