Cu Lao Mai Nha Island is located in the sea of Phuoc Dong village (An Hai commune, Tuy An district). This is an island with high mountains, undulating rocky cliffs on white sand banks and clear blue sea water.
The elderly people here say that the island is named Cu Lao Mai Nha (locals often call it Lao Mai Nha) because from afar the island looks like a roof.
There are almost no houses on the island, only a few small shops recently opened to serve tourists. Not yet exploited for tourism, the island still retains the wild beauty bestowed by nature.
Visitors can experience Cu Lao Mai Nha during the day or camp overnight, watching the sunrise and sunset at the front beach. The back beach of this island has large rocky beaches, rocky cliffs, natural caves, suitable for watching the sunrise, taking pictures, and fishing.
To get here, visitors must go to An Hai commune wharf. Every day, depending on demand and weather conditions, there will be 5-6 trips departing from the mainland to the island, taking only about 20 minutes.
Mr. Huynh Minh Khoa (27 years old, a tourist from Vinh Long province) said this was the second time he and his friends went to Cu Lao Mai Nha island.
"This time I came back, I saw that the island still retains its original characteristics. Although tourism activities are starting to develop more, the island is still wild and charming" - Mr. Khoa shared.
Ms. Le Huyen Anh (32 years old, tourist from Ho Chi Minh City) happily said: "It's wonderful, I never thought that in a sunny and windy land like Phu Yen there would be such a beautiful and poetic island, this place is really so peaceful and rustic. I trekked to the highest rocky mountain peak in Cu Lao Mai Nha and admired the entire natural beauty of the island".
Will plan tourism development in Cu Lao Mai Nha
Mr. Nguyen Van Hoang - Vice Chairman of Tuy An District People's Committee - said that in the coming time, the district will focus on developing tourism into a spearhead economic sector, focusing on developing tourism in coastal communes. At the same time, the locality will plan and develop Cu Lao Mai Nha Island into an attractive, friendly and safe tourist destination.
"In the immediate future, the locality will actively promote and advise tourists to ensure safety and environmental hygiene when visiting the island to maintain the wildness and poetic beauty of the island," said Mr. Hoang.
