Yen
islet, belonging to Nhon Hoi village, An Hoa commune (Tuy An district), is a
group of small islands located near the shore with sandy beaches, cliffs and
thousands of large, small stones interspersed with coral reef. At the shallow
sea, sea water far away reveals a large rocky beach that can be used as a way from
shore to Dun and Yen islets.
Hon Yen has a pyramidal
shape, composed of cylindrical basalt blocks or hexagonal grafts that are
joined together from the bottom up. Dun islet is a volcanic red rock. Waves
flapping all year round has caused the rock to be eroded in many places,
creating caves, concave with unique shapes. At the foot of Hon Dien, sea water
flows deep into the interior, moving in tide up and down making the sound of
yokes, yokes... The marine species here are diverse, the richest are the coral
species. It’s no need a boat or board with the glass bottom, on the shallow sea
day, visitors can stand on the reef or enjoy wading into the water, viewing coral
and reaching hands to catch the fish tossing in small water holes.
Many tourists have
come here, especially on the first days and the middle of the lunar month when
the tide is down. At this time, a large coral reef stands out on the water with
shimmering colors and unique shapes.
