According to the travel guide on the website, beaches are a prominent feature of Phu Quoc.

Eating out is an integral part of the local culture, ranging from street food stalls with plastic stools to modern interpretations of classic dishes and upscale seafood restaurants. Visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to dining options.

Some must-try dishes on the island, available throughout various establishments, include the Phu Quoc-style herring salad with onions, garlic, chilli, and coconut; bún kèn (ken noodles) with herbs, pounded fish, shredded green papaya, and cucumber in a coconut and lemongrass broth; and grilled sea urchins with spring onions and peanuts.

In addition to its culinary delights, Phu Quoc offers a wide range of activities and attractions. Travelers can engage in various water sports and diving, with the core diving season running from October to May. The island also features waterfalls for hiking, fishing trips, temples, pagodas, and the world’s longest cable car, which leads to the nearby small island of Hon Thom, known as the Vietnamese Disneyland.
