A video posted by a local tourist guide named Van Duy showed a group of over 20 dolphins that were swimming at a distance of 15-20 meters away from the rocky beach in Mui Dien Cape at around 9:30 a.m.

Van Duy said it is the first time that he saw many dolphins here.

Visitors were very interested in the sudden appearance of these marine mammals.

Local people believed that the appearance of the creatures symbolized good luck.

Others said that it might be the breeding season, the beaches are packed with small fish. Therefore the dolphins rushed to the shore to capture the fish.

According to the Director of Phu Yen Fisheries Division, dolphins have been recently appeared in the waters of the South Central provinces, including Phu Yen. Dolphins go in groups and often appear in calm seas and especially, the areas where they appear are usually the places with a good environment.
