The National Park Côn Đạo ( Vietnamese Quốc gia Vuon Côn Đạo ) is a forest reserve on Côn Đạo, Ba Ria- Vung Tau, Vietnam province. The park is located east of the southern tip of Vietnam in the north zone of the South China Sea. It includes a part of the island and the surrounding sea. After the islands was made in 1983 under public protection, one ten years later expanded the protection and dedicated the park into a national park. The park is characterized by a unique ecosystem.
