Hon Mun Island
Location: Hon Mun Island is situated on the
south of Nhatrang Bay, Nhatrang City, Khanhhoa Province, Vietnam.
Characteristic: Named
Hon Mun because in the south east of the island, it has high-rise cliffs with
dangerous wattles forming caves and grottoes, especially its stones are as black
as ebony, which could rarely be found in other areas.
In the black-stone caves
of Hon Mun, every year flocks of swallow migrate to the area and build their
nests. Due to the island's location adjacent to the hot sea-currents from the
equator, suitable to the development conditions of corals and various types of
tropical sea creatures, the sea bed of Hon Mun is home to an abundant and
diverse group of marine species, an interesting and useful place for
researchers, oceanographers and tourists to observe and explore more of the sea
creatures' life.
In Hon Mun, visitors can dive or take grass-bottom boat to admire the color
coral and sea creatures.
