Eo Gio
Eo Gio is a wind gap on the Phuong Mai peninsula at Nhon Ly, about 20 km north-east of Quy Nhon, where two arms of rock curve around a cove of clear water. A stepped walkway with white railings runs along the cliff at mid-height above the sea, and the wind that gives the place its name — the wind strait — comes through the gap most of the year.

About Eo Gio
Eo Gio is a wind gap on the Phuong Mai peninsula at Nhon Ly, about 20 km north-east of Quy Nhon, where two arms of rock curve around a cove of clear water.

Cultural & Heritage Story
Nhon Ly is still a fishing village first: round basket boats pulled up on the sand, nets drying along the lane, and the canoes that run visitors out to Ky Co working the same water. The cliff walkway is recent, and until it was built few people who were not from here came out this far.

Must-Try Food in Eo Gio
Jumping Shrimp Pancake
A small crisp rice-flour pancake fried with live shrimp, rolled in rice paper with herbs and dipped in thick peanut sauce. Binh Dinh's signature dish and best near the water.
Nhon Ly Seafood
Whatever the basket boats brought in — mantis shrimp, sea urchin, snapper, squid — grilled on the sand at the village end of the beach.
Quy Nhon Fish Cake Noodle Soup
Clear fish-bone broth with pumpkin and springy fish cake pounded from the morning catch. Eaten for breakfast, all over the city and the coast villages.

Essential Travel Tips for Eo Gio
Early Morning For The Light And The Wind
The walkway faces east and the sea is calmest before mid-morning. It also fills up with day trippers from about ten.
Shoes, Not Sandals
It is steps and rock the whole way along the cliff, often with spray on it. Flip-flops make the walkway harder than it needs to be.
Ky Co Runs On The Sea, Not The Clock
The canoe crossing from Nhon Ly is cancelled when the swell gets up, which happens with little notice from October. Keep the day flexible.
