Phu Quoc restaurant sparks controversy over $2 beach access fee

At present, visitors can reach Bai Sao Beach via three main routes: one through Chez Dugong’s property; another by parking at the forest edge and walking a considerable distance past the My Lan restaurant; and a third route through the Paradiso restaurant, which charges an access fee of VND100,000.

Thu said the introduction of the fee is intended to improve management, protect property, and control the flow of visitors.

She added that before 2019, when tourism in Phu Quoc was still limited, locals and a small number of visitors typically accessed Bai Sao Beach via the My Lan restaurant’s route, parking their vehicles at the forest edge.

In 2019, the owner of Chez Dugong opened an additional access road across its land.

The road is about 400 meters long and 10 meters wide.
