Now anyone who has been to Instagram is probably saturated with images of absolutely stunning beaches. I thought I´d post one above myself and don´t get me wrong, Sao beach was definitely a great beach and if you are looking for a good beach on Phu Quoc, you should check it out. 

But that´ s just a half of the story. You see, when we keep seeing those perfectly composed images of perfect white sand beaches, we forget that that´s not the whole truth. When we first got to this beach we started walking along the waterline to our right. The scene was depressing and really showed... well I don´t even know exactly what it showed. Maybe it shows what mass tourism is doing or maybe it´s a sad reminder of the state our seas are in. Or maybe it´s about the recklessness of the people who use the beach or maybe the lack of infrastucture. Or maybe it´s a combination of all these.
