Long Hai, Vietnam
Updated August 19, 2024
Tam Thanh, Phu Quy, Binh Thuan, Vietnam, features Long Hai and the smaller, southern island Hon Tranh.
South of Vietnam is a pair of Vietnamese islands located about 65 miles east of Phan Thiet, and 45 miles SE of the closest mainland. A solid location for a fishing, beach or farming, and there are beach protection stones laid out on at least one shoreline. These appear to be mature communities in the East Sea.
The main island, Tam Thanh, is a main island with two protected bays for fishing fleets. This island looks mature, established, actively inhabited, well developed, with hundreds of buildings, residences closely situated, significant office space, lush green spaces and farming plots across the island. The island has solar power. Beautiful white and blue roofs.
Satellite Imagery from Google Earth, 11/5/2023.
We see a heliport with three landing helipads to the west of the island.
The North, West, and a portion of the East side of the island looks to have densely packed residences and many boats in the water and two protected bays. A true ‘beach community’ while the center of the island and portions of the East have hundreds of small, individually managed farm plots.
The southern island, Hon Tranh, looks to have a few buildings and one visible radome.
We did not see an airport. Location:10°31'20"N 108°55'00"E
