TL;DR
For November, travelers recommend Phu Quoc’s west coast, including Long Beach; the water is deeper in the morning at high tide and shallower by evening. Sao Beach is an option for the beach itself, but it is remote, so plan on using a scooter or other transport.
For a November beach holiday, the west coast of Phu Quoc is recommended as the stronger choice at that time of year. The south and central parts of the island may be less convenient for staying because of ongoing construction.
Sunset Town is better treated as a one- or two-day excursion rather than necessarily your main beach base. It is suggested for photos, shows, the cable car, water park and island trips.
Sao Beach can work as a beach destination, but it is far from other parts of the island. A scooter or other transport is useful for getting around Phu Quoc.
Swimming at Long Beach is tide-dependent: the sea is generally deeper in the morning, while the evening low tide makes it noticeably shallower. This matters if you want deeper water close to shore.
