Not far from the beach are En and Boc islands where delicious seafood and clean beaches are available. From Thien Cam, visitors can take a boat for a cruise of half an hour to Boc Island to view imposing rocks over-looking the sea. Behind these rocks is a clean beach ideal for swimming in the rippling of the water surface and under the sunshine.
Sitting in huts on the island to have boiled fresh seafood in the late afternoon is a common habit for most visitors. Not far from the island is Tien (Fairy) Beach at the foot of Tuong Mount, with stone caves where both currents of salty and fresh waters meet.
