Shenzhen hides a little-known seaside camping spot! You can drive straight there and even stay overnight, perfect for taking kids to see the sea in total comfort

Who knew! I discovered a hidden gem in Shenzhen where you can drive straight to the beach and camp overnight for free. It looks like it’s going to become the next top spot for sea views! There are no crowded hotels or noisy traffic, just a peaceful little-known beach so relaxing you won’t want to leave. Best of all, very few people know about it, so no need to worry about crowds when bringing kids～ 📍The location is Baguang in Shenzhen. Just navigate to “Baguang Baishawan Jiangwushan Road Entrance” to get there. There’s also a bus stop nearby, so it’s very family-friendly even if you don’t have a car! If you drive, you can park for free in the open space behind the bus stop at Haiyue Creative Campground. After parking, walk back 20 meters, cross a crosswalk, then cross a roughly 10-meter grassy lawn to reach the free camping area. The route is very clear, so it’s easy to find your way with kids. The best surprise is that you can drive directly to the campsite, no need to carry heavy gear over long distances, which is super convenient for families with kids! You can set up a tarp and use a portable stove to cook warm baby food or instant noodles easily. Staying overnight here is totally doable～ Plus, the straight-line distance from the parking lot to the campsite is less than 20 meters, with no steps at all, so pushing a stroller is a breeze. If you’re planning to camp, remember to bring enough gear—tarp, folding table and chairs, portable stove, food—so you can enjoy a comfortable seaside family time. Here are some super useful tips to keep in mind! ✅ The Baguang seaside park is still under construction, so it doesn’t have an official name yet, but that doesn’t affect its beauty at all. In fact, it adds a natural, unspoiled charm. ✅ Because the environment is quite wild with lots of greenery, be sure to bring insect repellent and mosquito spray, especially if you have kids. Prepare in advance to avoid bug bites. ✅ Across the bay park is Yanzao Ancient Village, a historic village over a hundred years old. If you like exploring ancient villages, you must check it out! The village has a large square and a big pavilion where you can rest. Bring a picnic mat to enjoy a picnic with your kids. The old houses and stone paths in the village are very photogenic, perfect for capturing nostalgic family photos. ✅ After exploring, you can buy a new drink from Shuyi Grass Jelly—Black Oolong Fresh Milk Tea. The cup’s traditional Chinese design is beautiful and matches the seaside scenery perfectly! It uses high-quality black oolong tea from Fujian paired with premium dairy milk. The tea and milk blend wonderfully, tasting rich and sweet without being greasy. For kids, I recommend three parts sugar for just the right sweetness. ✅ The entrance to Yanzao Ancient Village is right by the Silverleaf Tree Wetland Park, which also has free parking. If you want a different spot for camping or picnicking, this is a great choice with a quieter, greener environment. ✅ The Silverleaf Tree Wetland Park allows camping and picnicking. Behind the ancient village is a wild sandy beach where you can take kids to explore at low tide, collecting little crabs and shells. Kids can play here for hours! Plus, there’s a row of century-old trees along the coast, providing cool shade in summer. ✅ No need to worry about facilities! Haiyue Campground, Silverleaf Tree Wetland Park, and Baishawan Park all have public restrooms and vending machines for drinks, so it’s easy to get water or buy a beverage. ✅ Currently, the entire Baguang area has only one 7-Eleven convenience store and a seafood restaurant, with no guesthouses. It’s all about peace and quiet here. If you want to stay overnight, you can do a day trip or book accommodation nearby in advance, but camping here overnight actually adds to the atmosphere. ✅ If you like cycling, you can ride along the Wanli Greenway in Baishawan Park all the way to Xiaogui Pier, about 8 kilometers one way. Along the way, you’ll see stunning mountain and sea views while enjoying the sea breeze. Kids can sit in child seats and enjoy the scenery too～ If you need to buy supplies or restock, Xiaogui town has everything you need, making it easy to return to the campsite afterward. ✅ Finally, remember to camp without a trace! Take all your trash with you when you leave to protect this little-known beach’s environment so more people can enjoy its beauty～
