Phu Quy Island

Location: Phu Quy Island has an area of 16.5 sq km and population of 20,698 people (in 1999). It lies at the junction line of the mainland and Truong Sa (Spratley) island, 120 km from Phan Thiet City, 200 km from Vung Tau City, 330 km from Con Dao (Paulo Condor) and 540 km from Truong Sa Island. It is close to the international maritime route.
Phu Quy is an important in-between logistic destination linking the mainland to Truong Sa archipelago. It is a “floating base” providing services to ships fishing offshore. With such an important position, people built a light house guiding ships going out and coming in.
