History

This place not only attracts tourists by its typical natural beauty but is also associated with an interesting historical story. The name "Queen Beach" originates from the event that Queen Nam Phuong, the last queen of the Nguyen Dynasty and also the wife of King Bao Dai, chose this place as a resting place in the 1940s. 

According to some historical documents, during a trip with King Bao Dai to Binh Dinh, Queen Nam Phuong was enchanted by the beauty of the beach. Unlike the usual golden sandy shore beaches, this beach stands out with thousands of smooth, round stones stacked on top of each other like giant bird eggs. When setting foot here, the queen was extremely fond of the wild, poetic scenery and named it "Queen Beach" to mark this event.

Besides the story associated with Queen Nam Phuong, this beach area is also part of the Ghenh Rang – Tien Sa complex, which has many folk legends and was once visited by kings and mandarins of the Nguyen Dynasty. In particular, this sector is also famous for the tomb of Han Mac Tu, a talented but ill-fated poet, making this place not only a beautiful spot but also rich in history and culture.

In this day and age, Queen Beach still retains its pristine beauty and has become one of the most attractive beach tourist destinations in Quy Nhon, attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to visit and explore every year.
