The 32-meter-tall stone structure resembles Rio de Janeiro's iconic Christ the Redeemer. Although the Vietnamese version is not nearly as stunning, it is still a wonderful sight.

From the Christ of Vung Tau, you can look over Woman's Island (Hon Ba). According to legend, a lady constructed a temple on this island in 1781 to worship the Sea Goddess. 

Because the male locals - the fisherman - always have to go to the far sea for fishing, all women here would come to the temple and pray for the safety of the fishermen. 

You can cross to the island on foot when the tires are low. However, watch out for the rocks while strolling on the island, which can be quite slippery.

You can end the second day by visiting Front Beach ( Bai Trout). After a long gone for these above spots, it is time for you to take a rest and enjoy the day on Front Beach. This section of the beach is somewhat smaller yet less crowded and chilled than Back Beach.
