Bai Bau is a beautiful white-sand crescent no more than 150m wide, sheltered by rocky headlands and with a mountainous backdrop. It can get busy on the weekend and during Vietnamese holidays, but midweek you’ll likely have the place to yourself. It's just 3km south of Bai Xep and 16km from Quy Nhon.
