If you relish the feel of a string of pearls or feel sated with just one piece adorning a ring, then Phu Quoc Island is your paradise. Pearls have been farmed and cultured in this part of southern Vietnam for hundreds of years. Most of the pearl farms are located right after the row of resorts along Truong Beach or Long Beach, some 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) south of Duong Dong (the main city). What used to be a small-scale handicrafts industry on the island is now a major cottage industry and source of income, as pearl farms big and small are found in this road stretch on the western side of the island leading to the sea port town of An Thoi.
