Dinh Cau Temple

This combination temple and lighthouse was built in 1937 to honour Thien Hau, the Goddess of the Sea, who provides protection for sailors and fishers. Sometimes called a ‘castle’, or 'rock temple' for the rocky outcrop it clings to, Dinh Cau gives you a good view of the harbour entrance. The promenade is popular with locals taking a stroll at sunset.
