Binh Ba – ‘Island of lobster’ on Cam Ranh Bay

If the south central region is considered to be the ‘kingdom’ of farmed lobsters, Binh Ba island (Cam Binh commune, Cam Ranh city, Khanh Hoa province) is regarded as the capital of that ‘kingdom’. The island is home to hundreds of lobster rafts on Cam Ray Bay, helping make the product the specialty of the whole region.

Located some 60 kilometers from the coastal city of Nha Trang to the south, Binh Ba island is a favorite destination thanks to not only beautiful beaches and untapped landscapes but also a lot of gastronomic treats. On top of that, grilled lobster with a locally-made salt and green chili sauce is Binh Ba’s signature dish, appealing to any gourmets. Lobster is the first choice of tourists traveling to this island. (Photo: VNA)
