Updates on Binh Ba - Binh Hung Islands

Binh Ba Island has received new attention in June 2026 after local authorities in Khanh Hoa ordered travel companies to stop organizing, advertising, or brokering tours to the island, along with nearby Binh Hung and Hoi Cape in Nam Cam Ranh Commune. The move was announced to protect the security of the Cam Ranh military base area, and it reinforces the long-standing rule that tourism development is not allowed in this zone.

The latest update is important for travelers because Binh Ba has often appeared in island-trip discussions connected with Nha Trang and Cam Ranh. At present, however, the practical message is clear: tour operations to the island are being halted, and businesses are being told to stop promotion and related sales activity. Local authorities have also asked tourism associations and local officials to help monitor and enforce the rule.


Binh Ba is a small island located about 60 kilometers south of Nha Trang, with an area of roughly three square kilometers. Before the current enforcement update, it was known for its beach scenery and its place in the wider coastal landscape of Khanh Hoa. That geographical context helps explain why the island often appeared in travel conversations, even though the area has remained within a restricted security boundary for years.

The restriction itself is not new. The ban on tourism development in Binh Ba and Binh Hung has been in place since 2015, and the latest action in 2026 confirms that the rule is still being actively enforced. The government framework was strengthened again under Decision No. 04/2025/QD-TTg dated 30 September 2025, which continues to define the area as a protected security zone.

For travelers planning a June 2026 trip to the Nha Trang and Cam Ranh area, this means Binh Ba should not be included in any tour schedule, promoted itinerary, or island-hopping plan. Travel businesses in the region are being required to remove promotional content and stop marketing the island as a tourism product. This update matters not only for tour operators but also for visitors who may still encounter older references to Binh Ba online.
