Located 30km from Tuy Hoa city, Hon Yen island is well-known as a favourite check-in destination among young travellers
 

When the tides recede on the island, visitors are able to savour the scenic views of coral reefs on the land
 

According to local residents, the tide only recedes in the afternoon of the first few days of the month or during the middle of the lunar month and lasts only for a few days. If visitors miss this then they have to wait another 15 days to have the chance of glimpsing the coral reefs again
 

Hon Yen island is popular largely because of the unspoiled beauty of its beaches
 

A local resident recounts how Hon Yen got its name. They mention that in the old days the island had a lot of bird nests
