Located at the southern tip of Phu Quoc, An Thoi offers a glimpse into the island’s maritime life, with fishing boats, working port facilities and a waterfront shaped by the local fishing industry. The harbour plays an important role in connecting the island with surrounding waters, while the town provides a more everyday contrast to Phu Quoc’s resort beaches and purpose-built entertainment districts. Visitors can observe harbour activity, explore nearby streets and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this coastal community.

An Thoi is best known as a departure point for exploring the An Thoi Archipelago, a group of offshore islands celebrated for clear waters, coral reefs and scenic beaches. Boat excursions offer opportunities for island-hopping, swimming, snorkelling and discovering smaller islands such as Hon Mong Tay and Hon May Rut, depending on the chosen route and sea conditions. The nearby Hon Thom cable car provides another memorable way to experience the region, with panoramic views over the islands and turquoise waters.

Food is another part of the experience, with local eateries serving freshly caught seafood, grilled fish, squid and other Phu Quoc specialities. An Thoi can also be combined with visits to Sao Beach, Khem Beach and Sunset Town, making it a convenient stop on a day exploring southern Phu Quoc. For boat trips, morning departures are often practical, but visitors should confirm schedules in advance and check weather conditions before setting out.
