[2025 Sanya Attraction] Travel Guide for Dadong Sea Bathing Beach (Updated Jun)

Ambiance/Facilities - Amazing view over the beach. We only discovered it on our last afternoon sadly, but saw some people eating, and food looked good! Highlights - The view!!!! Seemed a friendly place, quite a number of westerners, many of whom offered to take photos! Wish we'd discovered this earlier! Location - Go to Dadonghai Beach and left along the walkway almost as far as you can go, after both swimming areas. Avg. Price per Person - All we had was a coconut, which was 28 for 1. #sanyabeach #sanya #beachlife #coconutdream #beachview #dadonghai #dadonghaibay #freegensanya

The beach is a few km long, very sandy, and it seemed pretty clean. I've seen worse in Bali & Thailand actually! Shaded by palm trees at the edge, but no loungers or umbrellas to rent. People were there to either walk along or swim, not lie there all day. There were 2 relatively smallish swimming areas surrounded by buoys and with lifeguards. But some people did go outside them. Alongside the beach runs a walkway with bars and restaurants. Some looked run down, but a person we met said they think the authorities are trying to improve the area. But also, with no Russian tourists, visitor numbers are much lower, so maybe it's also an economic thing. Even if you don't swim in the sea, enjoy a lovely walk on soft sand. #sanya #sanyabeach #dadonghai #dadonghaibay #beach

#createwithtrip Dadonghai is a very beautiful beach located in Sanya in Hainan province in China. This beautiful beach is very popular for a number of things, you have so many different stores and shops all along the beach where you can buy drinks and you can buy food and that you can listen to music while you have a relaxing time. Another thing that is really popular to do at this beach is to rent a surfboard and go surfing along the waves. There’s so many people surfing at this time or just relaxing on their surfboards by the water. And when it gets really hot there are so many different spots with tents and umbrellas I can shade you from the sunlight. #suzhou #awesomepic #createwithtrip #travelinspiration #travel #suzhoutravel #summervacation #urbanexplorer #scenicspotguide #scenicspotphotoguide #naturalwonders

If you stay at a nearby hotel, you can walk to the beach in a few minutes and start your happy vacation. Beach: The sand on Dadonghai Beach is fine and soft, and it feels super comfortable to walk on it barefoot. The sea is crystal clear, and you can see many small fish swimming around. There are rows of deck chairs and parasols on the beach. When you are tired, you can sit down, enjoy the sea breeze, and look at the sea. It is so relaxing. Water activities: There are a variety of water activities here! You must try diving. Put on your gear and follow the instructor to dive into the sea. Various beautiful corals and colorful tropical fish are right in front of you, as if you have entered a mysterious underwater world. There are also jet skis, which are super exciting. You can ride them on the sea and forget all your worries. Banana boats are also fun. Sit on them with your friends and ride the waves, laughing all the way. Food: There are many restaurants nearby. I recommend going to a seafood stall. You can choose from a variety of fresh seafood, which is cooked on the spot. The steamed grouper is tender, the garlic scallops are fragrant, and the steamed sea urchin egg is tender and delicious. Every bite is full of the taste of the sea. If you don't want seafood, there is also Hainan-style coconut chicken. The sweet coconut milk is cooked with tender chicken, and the chicken is dipped in a special sauce. It is so delicious that you can't stop eating. Photo spots: The rocks by the sea are great for taking photos. Stand on the rocks with the sea as the background, and you can take great photos. There is also the sunset on the beach. When the afterglow of the setting sun shines on you, you can take beautiful silhouette photos. The atmosphere is perfect. Dadonghai is a charming place. Whether you want to relax or seek excitement, it can satisfy you. Pack your bags and come to Dadonghai to embrace the sea!
