Ham Ninh
Ham Ninh is a small fishing village on Phu Quoc's calmer east coast, known mainly for its wooden pier lined with simple seafood restaurants and a small daily market selling the day's catch, including the crab the village is particularly associated with locally. It's a much lower-key stop than the island's west-coast resort strip, popular as a lunch stop on a round-island tour rather than an overnight base, and the shallow water here tends to be murkier and less suited to swimming than the west coast's beaches.
Ham Ninh is also a common jumping-off point for boat trips into the Phu Quoc National Park's marine areas and for treks up nearby Ham Ninh Mountain, a modest hike offering views back over the coast.
