Ganh Dau owns a natural rock formation where visitors can sit and enjoy the scenery. Over thousands of years, the waves hit the shore, the cliffs over time turned into strange shapes. The stone surface can be slippery because of moss, so visitors should be careful when walking.

Fishermen's fishing boats also depart from this cape to the sea, promising to bring back delicious catches. From here, visitors can visit anchovy production sites on the windy coastal road.
