Stepping out of their room, guests will witness the sun rising like a giant red sphere slowly ascending above the thousands of white foamy waves at the resort’s beach. If Phu Quoc is known for sunsets, then Nam Hoi An, especially the Binh Minh coastal area, is renowned for offering the most beautiful sunrises in Quang Nam province. This is a reward for early-rising travelers who appreciate the beauty of starting their day early.

Walking barefoot on the sand, moving along the coastline for about 100 meters from the resort, travelers will come across traditional round bamboo basket boats, painted in vibrant colors of the sea, lined up along the beach. These basket boats are a distinctive mode of transportation used by local fishermen for near-shore fishing and transporting people and seafood from larger boats to the sandy shore.

In the enchanting morning light, each procession of boats returns in a line, brimming with abundant catches, signaling a fruitful season and the joyous, prosperous lives of the coastal fishermen. On the sandy beach near the fish market area, bustling crowds prepare their tools and equipment to purchase the fresh and vibrant seafood.
The sea is filled with lively shouts and the clamor of vendors and buyers. Immersed in the atmosphere of diligent and cheerful labor, one can observe the bustling image of women earnestly making a living, hurriedly carrying their loads as they walk across the sandy beach.
Traders and buyers are bustling around the baskets of fish and seafood that have just returned from the sea. Travelers can immerse themselves in the lives of fishermen, witnessing the simple yet unique daily rhythm of the local people.
On days when the sea is rough and the boats cannot go out, travelers have the opportunity to meet and engage with the warm-hearted residents, listening to the stories and experiences of generations of fishermen who have lived by the sea.

By 6 a.m., as the sun rises higher, the fish market starts to thin out. Boats and basket boats continue to head out to sea, while people depart, carrying with them fresh and delicious seafood, filled with the savory flavors of the sea, to be consumed in surrounding areas.
