Gành Đá Dĩa (Da Dia Reef)
About 36km from the city center, Da Dia Reef, located in Tuy An District, is one of the most famous gifts bestowed by Mother Nature to Phu Yen Province. It was recognized as a National Heritage site in 1998 as the extraordinary shape of the stones (Gành Đá Dĩa translating is stone plates reef).
The shape form as round, pentagon, hexagon basalt stones stacked in layers by the ocean (estimated roughly 35,000 stone columns) because of the 200 million years volcanism process in Van Hoa Plateau. After the lava met cold water, creating picturesque shapes and now looked like the giant black honeycomb.

Cầu Ông Cọp (Ong Cop Bridge)

The bridge structure is fully made of casuarina, a eucalyptus tree, and barriers with bamboo so only motorcycles and pedestrians can pass.
You will find a pile of casuarina woods under the bridge to repair any broken planks. Ong Cop Bridge is a shortcut between villages across the Binh Ba river for locals, besides other famous destinations like Da Dia Reef, O Loan lagoon, etc. for travelers. This Ong Cop Bridge is famous for its peculiar rustic charm and the peaceful harmony of mountains, turquoise river, and natives’ daily activities surrounding the bridge.
