Coral reefs formed on volcanic sediment in Phu Yen
The Hon Yen national tourist site in An Hoa Hai commune, Tuy Hoa district in Phu Yen province is home to 17 coral species. As they were formed on volcanic sediment, the coral boasts a unique charm compared to other species in coastal localities. As the coral is located near the shore, it is exposed during low tides.
