Because it is completely wild and undeveloped, there are no large roadside billboards. You will need to pull off the main highway onto a small, rugged dirt track or footpath heading down toward the sea (hiring a local guide or asking residents in nearby fishing hamlets is highly recommended if the trail feels hidden). You can leave your motorbike or car in small, unpaved clearings near the roadside embankment or at makeshift local stalls. Reaching the actual shoreline requires a short but moderately adventurous trek down the rocky, scrub-lined cliff path, making sturdy footwear essential. Alternatively, many travelers choose to access the beach effortlessly by chartering a private tourist canoe or joining a coastal boat tour from Vinh Hy Bay, which lands passengers directly onto the sand.
Bai Thung is a beautifully secluded, raw crescent of white sand interspersed with fine fragments of crushed shells and natural coral rubble. Sheltered inside a deep, rocky bay flanked by massive headlands, the water here is remarkably calm, mirror-clear, and highly protected from harsh ocean swells, making it feel like a giant, tranquil outdoor swimming pool. As a strictly wild and uncommercialized eco-zone, there are absolutely no permanent resorts, hotels, public restrooms, changing cabins, or municipal lifeguards. Day-trippers and campers must fully pack in their own fresh water, food, and emergency supplies, and are strictly expected to pack out all trash to keep this pristine ecosystem completely untouched.
