Fingernail Island
Vietnam
The famous Fingernail Island (Hon Mong Tay or “Hòn Móng Tay”) in Phu Quoc is located in the An Thoi archipelago and is part of the Phu Quoc Marine Park. Not to be confused with the northern Fingernail Island located off the coast of Vung Bau, the fingernail island located in An Thoi is your typical idyllic “Robinson Crusoe” like island – so much in fact that the locals even call it “Hon Robinson” (Hon means island in Vietnamese).
