Khem Beach is located in Kien Giang within Duong To, which makes it easily accessible and therefore popular among travelers. In the high season this may cause some discomfort, due to the large influx of tourists.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Phu quoc island, within the boundaries of the settlement, it is not difficult to get to it. If your stay is located not far from the beach, you can reach it by walking. In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"This beach is a sight to behold, stretching out for about 5 kilometers. The water and sand are pristine, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby serving up seafood and Vietnamese dishes. If you venture further inland, you'll find a fantastic pasta joint that serves the best pasta I've ever had."

Lila Anderson

"We had a great time at the beach, which wasn't too crowded when we visited. Other reviews have mentioned that it's now all private, but we took a taxi and were dropped off at the main resort, and we were able to access the beach without any issues. I'm sure it will become more crowded once construction is completed and more people start traveling again post-pandemic."
