The sea water on a sunny day is particularly beautiful, with clear layers and a full jelly texture. It is not inferior to Thailand at all, but the water temperature is still a little cool, the wind is strong and the waves are a little big, so we can't go into the sea to play in the water. I look forward to watching the sunset in the afternoon~
There are really no shells, but there are a lot of coral rocks and the sand is relatively fine. Because Sunrise Beach is quiet, it feels like you have reserved the entire beach.
We still went down the steps, walked to the rocks by the sea and sat down, waiting for the shocking scene. There was a fishing boat floating in the middle of the sea. I don't know if it was accidental or inevitable ~ it was quite appropriate ~ just quietly blowing the sea breeze, watching the sunset, the golden light sprinkled on the sea, turning everything into golden. Just when it was still some distance away from the sea level, and I wanted to hold the big golden ball to take a silhouette, it playfully whizzed away, and the clouds perfectly escorted it into the sea, leaving the sea in silence.
As the sun went down and night was about to fall, people began to disperse. We waited for a while to see if there was any sunset glow. As expected, although there was no gorgeous sunset clouds, there was a mottled red glow, which was fleeting.
Shell Beach is on the east side of Weizhou Island. I didn’t know it was a scenic beach on Weizhou Island until I came here. I just looked for accommodation near the hotel near the beach, so I came to the vicinity. It’s a few hundred meters from the hotel, less than 10 minutes away. The beach got its name because of the various shells and corals scattered around.
The Shell Beach of Weizhou Island is the longest beach attraction on the coastline of Weizhou Island. It starts from the east coast of Weizhou Island and ends at the beach where the Blue Bridge Pier is located. The only road around the island runs from the pier from north to east through the coast of the Shell Beach. You can walk into the Shell Beach from the road around the island. There are three viewing platforms along the Shell Beach, each with a different view. The water on this beach is clear and the sand is white and soft, which is very suitable for walking and picking shells. The Shell Beach is very long and there are few tourists, so it retains more original ecological scenery and attracts many tourists who like quietness.
Friends who like to go to the beach must come here. You can see small crabs, shells, corals, etc. It is very interesting to play here. It is recommended to wear sandals that can be used in the water, because there are many reefs here, which are easy to scratch and not easy to walk. The sea water will also cut off your retreat without you knowing it, so don't wear leather shoes or sports shoes. But you must avoid the high temperature and strong sun at noon and in the afternoon, otherwise it will be unbearable.
The water is very clear, there are many shells, and there were very few people when we arrived, which was very happy. Just navigate to the Shell Beach. The parking fee is 3 yuan. Don't navigate to the Sunrise Shell Beach in the east, the view is average, and there is an old man who tries to charge you a lot.
It's perfect for taking your kids to the beach to pick up shells. The sand is very fine.
There were many shells on the beach, but the sun was too strong and there was no shade, so I could only pick a few beautiful ones and leave in a hurry.
I bypassed the parking spot guarded by the islanders and parked my car in the grass next to the beach. Ding! I saved five dollars! ~
In fact, this place is not as good as imagined, and the beach is not very clean, but there are really many beautiful shells and conchs here. Ding Ding and I simply squatted down to pick up shells to see if there are any beautiful ones to take back~
The color of the sea water feels like jelly blue, but it's a pity that the beach is not very clean and the weather is not very good~~
Come here in the morning to watch the sunrise, the location is very good.
I don't know if Sunrise Beach is the same as Shell Beach, but there are really a lot of shells and stones, and the sand is very fine and soft. It was off-season in October, and there was no one on the entire coast... It was a bit cold.
The coastline of Shell Beach is very long. There are scenic spots called Shell Beach every few kilometers. In fact, the whole area is Shell Beach, but it is divided into different small pieces. Our principle is to go wherever there is no charge. That means we will park the car in a place where no one charges randomly and go directly from there. It feels like a small fishing village. It is very hot in the afternoon, and there are not many people on Shell Beach.
In the distance on the left side of the beach is the Blue Bridge, where the sunset is also seen.
The beach is very soft and is the finest of the several beaches on Weizhou Island. It has many entertainment facilities.
We live near Shell Beach. The reason we chose this place is that there are not many popular attractions in this area, there are few tourists, it is very quiet, and it is convenient to watch the sunrise.
The sea is so cool, and the salt content is so high that you can really float. The water at Shell Beach is also clear enough. When the waves hit, I took a gulp of sea water, which was so salty and refreshing. I drank a lot of water in the afternoon.
White waves on the beach
Blue sky * white clouds * sunshine * beach * shells * corals
The mysterious viewing platform on Weizhou Island (the closest viewing platform next to the Blue Bridge, which is on the map) is less crowded! Thumbs up! You can also see the Blue Bridge of Sinopec!
When you go to the beach, you can't miss the beach. Don't expect too much, maybe you won't be disappointed. Bring your kids to play with sand and water, and take some photos, that's enough. If that's not exciting enough, there are also sea projects, but of course you have to prepare the money.
After the tide goes out, you can pick up a lot of beautiful shells and even starfish, but unfortunately I am not so lucky. However, when I saw these small, incomplete shells for the first time, I was also happy.
Shell Beach is an unmanaged beach with a lot of garbage on the beach, and it is relatively primitive. However, when the tide is low, the sand inside is exposed, and it feels soft when you step on it with slippers. When the weather is good, the blue sky and white clouds make the sea and sky one color, which is also very beautiful.
It's quite ordinary and doesn't seem to have any special features, but the ground of this beach is corroded rock.
It is suitable for watching the sunrise. There are various activities on the beach, such as beach motorcycles, motorboats, snorkeling and so on.
Shell Beach is not far from the Catholic Church. It is recommended to go to Shell Beach when you go to the Catholic Church. The scenery of Shell Beach is particularly good. We played on the jet ski at Shell Beach and experienced the feeling of driving on the sea. Although we didn't dare to drive at first, we were not afraid when someone led us. The jet ski is calculated by time or distance. You must experience driving a jet ski when you come here. Pay attention to sunglasses and hats when driving a jet ski, and don't fall into the sea.
Parking is charged on the beach, 3 yuan per electric car, the beach is very bad, broken corals and shells are all over the beach, and you can't even put your feet. The quality of the sea water is not very good, and it feels similar to the sea in the north. There are jet skis and beach cars to play here, and you can bargain for them. Remember to bargain before playing. In addition, the instructor does not follow the standard requirements to instruct the wearing of life jackets on sea motorcycles, which poses certain safety risks.
The beach is clean, the water is clear, and there are not many people. I highly recommend it.
You can find it by using Baidu Navigation. The beach here is the most beautiful in Weizhou Island. The beach is very long, the sand is fine, there are not many dead corals, and most importantly, there are few people. You can step on the water quietly. There are also jet skis to play on Shell Beach. It is not as crowded as Shiluokou and Dishuidanping. No matter how you take pictures, there are people everywhere. But there are really no shells on Shell Beach.
Was the shell beach I went to a fake one?
Of course, you should go to Wucai Beach to watch the sunrise.
All I saw was garbage and a cheater beach, luckily I took a picture of the so-called "main entrance"
But I didn't take any photos on the beach, I left in less than five minutes.
Because parking at every scenic spot on the island costs five yuan. Later we figured out that we could park the car not far from the scenic spot (that is, before the local villagers charged fees), so we could save a little money. Shell Beach is the longest beach attraction on the coastline of Weizhou Island. It starts from the east coast of Weizhou Island and ends at the beach where the Blue Bridge Pier is located. It is the best place to watch the sunrise (the sun rises from the middle of the sea). As the name "Shell" suggests, this is a good place to pick up shells, but we found that there are mostly coral stones. The sand on the beach is soft and delicate, and the water is very clear and the sea is very blue. I forgot how long I haven't seen such a clear sea. Under the sunshine, it is really sparkling.
All we saw was the hazy beach, felt the hard shells under our feet, and the crackling sound they made when we stepped on them.
This is the longest beach on the island. The sand is very soft and there are not as many people as Dishuidanping. You can stay longer.
The water quality here is not as good as that of Shiluokou, and there are no waves. It is very quiet. If you have enough time, you can still come and have a look. The biggest feature of Shell Beach is that there are shells and corals everywhere. If you want to bring souvenirs, you can pick them up here.
I got up at 5:00 in the morning on the 28th and went to Shell Beach to watch the sunrise. Due to bad weather, I didn't see it. At 7:00, I did see the sun, but it was already high in the sky, which was a bit disappointing.
There are so many shells and corals on the beach! Especially the corals, not only in strips, but also in clumps. The strips are probably the skeletons of corals such as staghorn corals, and the clumps are probably the skeletons of corals such as chrysanthemum corals.
You can watch the sunrise and sunset at this beach. You can come anytime you want. You don't need to hire a car, you can just walk here.
Moreover, there were very few people on this beach. Almost no one.
Each hotel has a special car to take you to Shell Beach to watch the sunrise. The one we contacted costs 20 yuan per person, leaving at 5:30 in the morning and returning at 7 o'clock. When you arrive on the island, you must watch the sunrise. Get up early and you will gain a lot!
The sand here is really fine and soft, and it is very comfortable to walk on.
A deserted beach with few shells, but a lot of corals... and quite a few dead bodies...
Just like the name, you can pick up shells everywhere on the shore. At the beginning of the month when there is no moon, you can see the Milky Way above your head connected to the sea surface. On the fifteenth day, you can see the full moon rising from the sea level. The shell beach is different every day. When the tide is low, it can retreat to 100 to 200 meters away. There are many crabs on the beach, you can catch them for free!
This is not a sunset, but a moonrise. It is more beautiful than a sunrise. (I was very lucky to see a red moon as soon as I went there!)
The baked chicken, baked squid and baked pomfret on the beach. I really want to eat them again!
The Shell Beach is very large, not just a certain beach. It is amazing here. There is no one there. We took photos in various poses and picked up shells. It is a real Shell Beach. The beach is full of shells of various types. There are also some old ruins and old ships. I guess the photographer can definitely take pictures of those old things in a unique way.
The dirtiest beach I've ever seen. There's no need to waste your time. The beach is narrow and dirty. Those who say it's good are all scammers.
This beach requires a separate entrance fee. After paying the fee, you will be given a bracelet to wear. The beach is not big, but there are some decorations that are still suitable for taking photos.
We passed a row of stalls and came to the beach. We were amazed by the blue sky and white clouds, and the sea and sky were one color. It was much more beautiful than Beihai. My friend said that we finally found the feeling of Hainan.
The most beautiful and largest shells on the island are all at Shell Beach. If you want to pick up beautiful shells, go to Shell Beach.
I went to several beaches on Weizhou Island. The sand here is slightly yellower and finer, and you can walk on it with slippers. Some places are better to just take photos.
There are indeed many shells on the shell beach. You can pick them up carefully. They are colorful and beautiful. You can also catch crabs.
It is said that Sichuan includes all geological features except the sea, so it is no surprise that Sichuan people rarely see waves and beaches. As soon as the Spring Festival comes, cars with the word "Sichuan" in them will come to Beihai and Hainan to crowd in. One of the focuses of our trip was also on the waves and beaches.
There is Silver Beach in Beihai and Shell Beach in Weizhou Island.
Shell Beach is not suitable for swimming or walking on the sand because it is covered with coral rocks... But it is beautiful and suitable for enjoying the pleasure of an uninhabited island and contracting the beach. There are no beach cars, motorboats, lounge chairs or refrigerators. Shell Beach is only primitive, pure and quiet. When you have seen all the attractions of Weizhou Island, find a sunny noon, ride a small electric donkey to find an uninhabited beach, and feel your own Weizhou.
The beach is very clean, the sand is relatively fine, and the sea water is transparent! There are many coral stones at the entrance, and the shell beach is a great place to watch the sunrise at sea.
The water is clear, the business atmosphere is not strong, and the scenery is charming
The water at Beihai Beach is pretty good, there are many people swimming, and the beach is free.
One of the best beaches for watching the sunrise. Unfortunately, it is hard to find the beautiful shells on Shell Beach.
There is nothing to do. There are too many small stones and it is not developed. It is very primitive and not suitable for swimming. I come here just to see the scenery. Because there are more shells and conchs, there is occasionally a smell of rotten conchs, which is not very pleasant. The sand here is relatively hard. I went to all the beaches on Weizhou Island. The best one is the crude oil terminal on the north side of Weizhou Island. The sand is very fine and clean. There is no gravel, no shells, and no coral fragments. However, it is not developed, so it may be dangerous to swim alone. The second is Dishui Danping, which has a good scenery, fine sand, and some shells. Wucai Beach and Shell Beach are not suitable for swimming and are ranked last.
There are so many broken corals on the beaches that you cannot walk barefoot on them.
After lunch, we followed the navigation instructions to Shell Beach, which is located in the north and northeast of the island and has the longest coastline on the island. When we first saw Shell Beach, our common impression was: few people, clear water, and soft sand. There were almost no people on the long beach, the sea and the sky were one color, empty and quiet, and this stretch of sea was "contracted" by us.
Walk on the waves, stroll, pick up corals, feel the sea breeze, listen to the waves, and have an intimate contact with the sea.
The name is Shell Beach, but I didn't see many shells. Maybe they were picked up by people. There are a lot of corals, just like grabbing a handful of bear biscuits everywhere, so it's not suitable for walking on the waves barefoot. The advantage is that there are not many tourists, and it is quiet.
We hired a battery car for a tour, and the guy was very enthusiastic and took us to Shell Beach. I thought that all the beaches were the same, so it didn't matter if I didn't go. It was rare that someone was so enthusiastic, so I got off the car and went in to take a look. Well, it was a quiet beach, and I could just stand there and stare blankly. Although the public facilities were not complete, the originality was the best, wasn't it? !
Shell Beach is a great place to watch the sunrise, so you should go there early during holidays.
The long beach on the northeast side of the island is called Shell Beach, and the scenery is probably similar. It is a good place to watch the sunrise, but we didn't get up early the next day, so Shell Beach is just a beach with few people and no scenery for me, but it is suitable for a casual walk in the sea breeze.
We didn't encounter good weather when we went there. There were very few clouds at sunrise, but it was very quiet and there were few people.
To be honest, the original landscape of Shell Beach is still good, but the on-site management is relatively poor, and there is a lot of garbage on the beach. Other than that, everything is good: quiet and beautiful, suitable for watching the sunrise and taking silhouettes, super beautiful...
A beach with few tourists, suitable for walking
The sand is fine and soft, and there are relatively few tourists. What I love most is the fine and soft sand.
Pick up some shells at the beach and take them home as souvenirs, haha.
Shell Beach is very close to our inn. It is suitable for watching the sunrise in the morning. You can go out at about 5:30. We didn’t see the sea of clouds when we went there that day, but there were stars in the sky (the sky is full of stars at night, which is very beautiful), and you can also catch crabs in the early morning when the tide is low.
This is a quiet, clear beach. You can greet the sunrise every day and go to the beach every day! The beach is like a display stand of the sea, covered with all kinds of corals and shells! For children who love the sea, it is simply a treasure hunting paradise! 1
It was fun. My mom and I booked a piece of sea. The sea was magnificent and there were many colorful shells on the shore. It was a day to let ourselves go.
I got up at 4am just to watch the sunrise, but it was really worth it. I picked up a lot of shells and caught a lot of crabs. There were crabs under almost every stone.
The starting point is on the east coast of Weizhou Island, and the end point is on the beach where the Blue Bridge Pier is located. The only road around the island runs from the pier from north to east through the coast of Shell Beach, and you can walk into Shell Beach from the road around the island. There are three viewing platforms along the Shell Beach (with road signs), with different scenery. Entering Shell Beach, the sand on the beach is very beautiful and soft. It is suitable for swimming, diving and picking shells. The east area of Shell Beach is the best place to watch the sunrise (the sun rises from the middle of the sea), and the beach area near the Blue Bridge Pier in the northwest can see the sunset. The sky light and cloud shadows wander together. I got up at five in the morning to watch the sunrise, and I felt a little dizzy. I watched the sun jump out of the sea like a salted egg yolk, and it looked lively and cute.
There was a small fishing boat parked on the sea, and the breeze in the evening made it really quiet and comfortable! It was raining when we came, so the sea here was not so clear. The hotel owner said that the shell beach was really like the sea seen abroad, clear and shocking~~
Shell Beach, as the name suggests, it would be a waste if you don't pick up shells here. See the picture above for yourself!!!
The beach scenery is nice, but rice is very expensive on the island.
Shell Beach can be said to be the most beautiful beach on the island. There are not many people there. If you have enough time, you can play here for a while.
There are not many reefs on the shell beach, and the only one makes it a great spot for taking photos.
There are many shells and conchs on the beach. After the tide goes out in the morning, the exposed beach and reefs become the children's playground. There are many crabs under the reefs and many small fish and shrimps in the shallow water area of the sea!
It was almost 18:00 when we arrived. There were not many people on the beach, and there were many shells mixed in the sand, which made it feel worse than the beach at Dishuidanping. But it was better because there were fewer people, so it was easier to take photos.
So beautiful! The sea is so beautiful, the sky is so blue!
I picked a Y-shaped shell to take home as a souvenir. As for water sports, there are motorboats on every beach. If you want to try it, you can try it. You can bargain and get it down to 80 yuan per person. It's not expensive! For diving, sailing is 260 yuan per person for 6 people in one boat!
There are few tourists here. There are many coral reefs and shells on the beach. The water is quite clear and it is great to watch the sunrise here!
It's very suitable for watching the sunrise. There are several inns on the beach. Friends can consider staying there directly. You don't have to get up so early in the morning. Haha
I personally think it is the most beautiful beach in Weizhou Island, with few people and clean beach.
There are many walking snails along the beach. If you look closely, you will see a crab crawling into the snail every day. It should be the crab that took action first. Maybe this is the food chain of the ocean.
There is a beach with many reefs near Shell Beach. The reefs are lined up and extend to the depths of the sea. When the tide is low, you can walk along the reefs.
I didn't see as many shells as shown in the pictures online at Shell Beach. It is said that this is the best beach for watching sunrise in the whole Weizhou Island. Unfortunately, the weather in the mornings has been bad for the past few days, so I didn't have the chance to see the sunrise.
