Located 30 km from the mainland, Con Co island, which crosses the 17th parallel, is considered an “outpost watch” due to its location.

Covering on area of 2.3 square kilometres, it is one of the most magnificent islands of the central region with a diverse ecosystem.

Tourists to Con Co can visit the hall of tradition which houses items reflecting the history of Con Co island district’s army and people over the past 55 years, pay tribute to Hill 37 Monument and visit Ben Nghe – Mom Ho beach.
