Legend and Name

Son Tra is not only famous for its beauty but also preserves the legend of the Buddha statue on the sand. During King Minh Mang's reign, fishermen discovered the Buddha statue and set up a shrine. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saved the people here, so this place is called Bai But, or "Buddha's realm in the human world."
