Thach Dong stone grotto, a piece of green stone emerging from the ground; Chong stone; Hon Phu Tu, Father and Son rocks which lie approximately 100m offshore; and Hang Pagoda. By boat, one can reach Hai Tac islets, 16 islets around which the water is 4m deep. On the coast of Hon Doc, the largest islet is a magnificent white sand beach running towards the sea.

Near Hon Chong Beach is Tien Cave that has 2 openings; the east door on the sea and the west door, opening on Duoc Beach. In the cave, there are many oddly shaped stone drops, some suggesting King Nguyen?s gold throne. Hon Trem Beach, 1000m from Hon Chong Beach offers the nicest white sand in Ha Tien. Hang Pagoda is also very interesting. This pagoda, 40m underground, somber and foggy, echoes the sounds of the pagoda?s bell on the stone drops.
