Besides Phan Thiet and Mui Ne beaches, Binh Thuan also owns Ke Ga Cape - a small island surrounded by uniquely shaped rocks located in the middle of the open sea. Ke Ga Cape is located in Thuan Quy commune, Ham Thuan Nam district, Binh Thuan province.
Ke Ga Cape is about 500 meters from the mainland, to set foot on the island, visitors have to travel by canoe for about 5 minutes. On the island, it owns the highest and oldest lighthouse in Vietnam, built in 1897. In summer, the small island is covered in beautiful green grass, which is also a good time for campers because it is not affected by the monsoon season.
Ke Ga Cape with 4 sides is surrounded by the sea, so visitors can watch the sunset and sunrise here. From the high ground, I watched the brilliant August sunset inlaid with gold on the scenery, each flock of birds swaying to find a place to sleep, bringing a poetic and peaceful atmosphere.
At night, the lighthouse lights up to create a fantastical scenery. The nearly 127-year-old sea lamp continues to illuminate and guide fishermen to the sea every night.
There are no shops on the island, so visitors have to prepare everything for the camping trip, from tents to food and drinks. Visitors have to pay 50,000 VND/person for overnight expenses and freshwater baths.
Although Binh Thuan is a place that is quite polluted by light due to the lights from dragon fruit orchards and fishing boats, we still had the opportunity to see the magical Milky Way. In the middle of the silent black night, the lighthouse stands tall in the starry sky like a picture.
Camping in Ke Ga on the night of August 11, I also admired the most beautiful Perseids meteor shower of the year. Perseids is a continuous meteor shower that formed from the remnants of Comet Swift-Tuttle as it crossed Earth. At peak times, the number of meteors you can see can range from 60 to 100 per hour.
Waking up in the morning, waiting for me outside the door of the tent was a fanciful sunrise scene. The sun is like a fireball slowly rising from the surface of the sea, and each fishing boat pulls one after another back to shore after the night of fishing.
The rays of the morning sun embrace each mysteriously shaped stone slab, gilding the scenery, creating an impressive landscape.
They also had the opportunity to experience with fishermen pulling nets, removing fish, and enjoying a variety of fresh seafood that had just been caught.
Besides, visitors also have the opportunity to enjoy the cool forest pineapple juice typical of this place.
