The best time to travel to Phu Yen come here between January and March, you will experience temperatures in their high twenties and there will not be a lot of rain. The closer your travel dates are to summer, the hotter it will get, but chances of rain are still low. If the heat does not bother you, traveling in summer is great as you can have the beach all to yourself.

If you can, avoid the time between September and December. Phu Yen’s rainy season is from September to December but rest asured: you will still have your share of sun and warm weather but be ready to get the occasional free shower.

Also, note that bad weather might make it impossible to go on boat trips during this time (in Phu Yen as well as neighboring provinces), as going out to sea would not be safe.

One of the most famous destinations in Phu Yen is Vung Ro Bay. With calm, clear waters, rocky escarpments, hidden coves, beaches squeezed between forested hills, remote fishing villages, and excellent transport infrastructure, Vung Ro Bay has really got it going on.

Vung Ro Bay is easily accessible, stunningly beautiful, and largely empty of foreign tourists. Change is bound to come sooner or later, so visit now if you want to see Vung Ro Bay before construction and development spoil its current condition. Ideal for independent travellers on two wheels, Vung Ro Bay is great as a day-night trip from Nha Trang or as a stop on a longer coastal route.
