Viewed from above, Gành Đèn (about 1 km from Gành Đá Đĩa ) is a vast natural rock formation stretching out into the sea. Rocks of various shapes and sizes are stacked upon each other, eroded by waves and wind over millions of years, creating a unique "rock labyrinth." The yellowish-brown color of the rocks stands out against the deep blue sea. Amidst this expansive space, a small concrete path winding along the rocky slopes to the headland adds a gentle touch to the pristine natural landscape.
The most striking feature of Gành Đèn is the lighthouse, a majestic red and white structure standing proudly amidst the vast expanse of rocks and waves. Like a landmark in the sea, the lighthouse silently guides ships at sea. Beyond its maritime significance, this structure is also considered an "eye of the sea," contributing to the affirmation and preservation of the sacred sovereignty of the nation's maritime territories.

From the rocky outcrop, visitors can gaze out over a vast expanse of sea and the small islands scattered along Xuan Dai Bay. At sunrise or sunset, Ganh Den becomes even more captivating as the sunlight bathes the rocks in vibrant orange and yellow hues. Ms. Nguyen Huynh Cam, a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City, shared: “I have visited many famous coastal areas, but this place gives me a very different feeling. Standing on the rocky outcrops overlooking the wide sea, with the small lighthouse in the midst of the vast waves, I feel the peace of pristine beauty.”
Not only domestic tourists, but many international visitors also appreciate the natural beauty of Gành Đèn. During an investment survey in the area, the UAE Ambassador to Vietnam, Bader Almatrooshi, expressed his admiration for Gành Đèn's beauty. He believes that the area possesses unique natural landscapes, retaining rare pristine features, making it very suitable for developing high-end resort tourism linked to nature conservation. According to him, if properly planned, harmonizing development and environmental preservation, Gành Đèn could become an attractive destination for international tourists, contributing to promoting the image of Dak Lak province to the world.
