Not only known for its serene beauty, O Loan Lagoon captivates visitors with its vast, calm waters and poetic scenery, especially during sunrise and sunset when the entire lagoon glows with soft golden light.
Located near the foot of Quan Cau Pass in Tuy An district, Phu Yen, O Loan Lagoon is a brackish water lagoon surrounded by low hills and small fishing villages. Seen from above, the lagoon resembles a giant phoenix spreading its wings—a unique natural shape that adds to its charm. The water surface is usually still, reflecting the sky like a mirror, creating a tranquil and soothing atmosphere.

Beyond its natural beauty, the lagoon is also famous for its rich seafood, especially blood cockles, which are considered a local specialty and attract many food lovers.

From Tuy Hoa, visitors can travel about 20–25 km north along National Highway 1A. The lagoon is located just below Quan Cau Pass, making it easy to combine with other nearby attractions. The road is convenient and offers scenic views of mountains and coastline along the way.
