Beaches

1. Yalong Bay: Yalong Bay is filled with white sand and crystal blue water, which is well looked after and allows swimming. In this area, you can enjoy a drink in a bar or a water sport activity. Stroll along the beach or find a quiet place in the resort to bond with your children.

 

 

2. Dadonghai: Surrounded by mountains, Dadonghai bay is in a beautiful crescent shape and the coconut trees grow around it. Most of the Sanya citizens will visit this beach since it is close to downtown.

 

 

3. Sanya Bay: This beach isn’t perfect for a fun beach day, but the Sanya Bay is famous for its sunsets! Take a nice stroll with your loved during the epic sunset panorama.

 

 

4. Haitang Bay: If you are looking for a quiet beach, far away from the city and with more natural scenery, head to Haitang Bay. There are many high-end resort hotels on the beach, and the hotel facilities are relatively new. The stormy waves are not safe, so in order to protect the visitor’s safety, it is not allowed to swim in this beach area.
