Hon Yen
Standing in Nhon Hoi village looking out, you will see two large and small islands lying next to each other, only about 100m from the shore. The large island with a huge cone tip and steep cliffs is often called Hon Yen, while the smaller island is Hon Cartilage.
Hon Yen complex consists of rocky beaches connecting the mainland with Hon Yen and Hon Boil, creating beautiful landscapes by the sea. This place converges many natural, geological and biological values, notably terrestrial coral reefs. The reason this place is called Hon Yen because in the past many birds naturally chose this place to nest, multiply and dwell. However, today, the bird's nest is mostly migratory and concentrated in Hon Noi and Hon Sam.
