Holidaymakers are flocking to Ba Lang An Peninsula for its crystal clear waters, the musical sounds of nature, ancient rock formations, and fresh seafood.

Situated in Binh Son District in the central province of Quang Ngai, the place was known as Cap Batangan by locals during the French colonial period.

Ba Lang An (which means ‘land of 3 villages called An in Vietnamese) is used to describe the three villages of An Hai, An Vinh, and An Ky.

To reach the peninsula, visitors have to drive around 20km along the My Tra – My Khe expressway from Quang Ngai City, turn into Highway 24B, and then into a narrow path shaded by rows of almond trees.

Visitors are greeted with a picturesque landscape. From Ba Lang An Lighthouse, a structure from the colonial period, take a walk to the bare hill and take in a panoramic view of the peninsula.

A stunning view of the clear blue water carpeted by colourful coral reefs and overlapping heaps of basalt rocks that stretch out to sea will surely take your breath away.
