Ganh Den lighthouse is located about 1 km north of Ganh Da Dia, in An Ninh Dong commune, Tuy An district. This lighthouse has two colors: red, white, 22 m altitude above sea level, emitting light for ships and boats in and out of Xuan Dai Bay. Standing on Ganh Den, you can observe the vast sea to the east and the view of fishing boats.

The rocks here stand upright in columns, closely connected with each other, have a hexagonal cross-section, like plates stacked on top of each other, so it is called Da Disc ganh. Surrounding the cliff is a crescent-shaped sand beach about 3 km long.

About 100 meters from Ganh Da Dia is Bai Bang in An Ninh Dong commune, Tuy An district. This is a sandy beach stretching for about 300 m, accompanied by an ancient limestone beach all year round submerged in seawater.

“On dry tidal days, Bai Bang is wonderfully beautiful when limestone blocks of many different lines are exposed. Especially from February to April every year, these rocks are covered with a layer of golden apricot seaweed, this is also the time to attract photographers to come to compose “, Mr. Chi Trung said.

Coming to An Hoa Hai commune, tourists can also experience lobster farming in cages along the coast. The shrimp cage looks like a picture on the sea with a high angle.

Hon Yen waters are also where fishermen catch anchovies. In the process of fishermen releasing green nets, fishing fins in the sea create different shapes of “net flowers”, creating a vivid picture for the manipulators to compose.

People dried anchovies in Hoa An village, Xuan Canh commune, Song Cau town. Hoa An develops a craft village to steam and dry anchovies, focusing on activities from the Lunar New Year to the third lunar month every year, when anchovies appear a lot. The caught anchovies are sold to manual drying ovens, through three stages of selection, steaming and drying. After drying, the fish meeting the standards is sold to traders, the rest is made into fish sauce.
