Riyue Bay is located in Wanning City on the east line of Hainan Ring Expressway. There is a Riyue Bay Expressway exit, which is easy to find. Riyue Bay is a world surfing base, and the beach is very unique - there are sandy beaches and rocks, and the waves hitting the rocks are very exciting! It is a good place to watch the sunrise; the coconut trees on the coastal highway set off the waves, the beach, the blue sky and white clouds, which is a good place to take pictures, and you can take a lot of beautiful photos!
Sun Moon Bay ⭐⭐
🚗Location & Transportation:
Riyue Bay is the farthest from Wanning High-speed Railway Station and also the farthest from Shenzhou High-speed Railway Station. Riyue Bay Beach is very close to the Riyue Bay hub of the highway. You can reach the beach after getting off the highway. It is recommended to rent a car when you come to Wanning, because each point is a little far away, and renting a car will be very convenient.
🌈Highlights:
There are many surfing shops in Riyue Bay. There is one every few meters from the beach, so there are many choices. In addition, there are also many surfing shops in the villages near Riyue Bay.
There are reefs in some sections of the seaside of Riyue Bay, which is a bit risky. In addition, there are the most people surfing in Riyue Bay, which greatly affects the experience.
The beach and sea in Riyue Bay are quite ordinary, but at night the beach bars, beach KTVs, and fireworks create a lively atmosphere and become a gathering place for young people.
Surfing in Riyue Bay is not recommended, and accommodation in Riyue Bay is not recommended. You can go to the Riyue Bay beach at night to experience the nightlife.
Sun Moon Bay definitely did not disappoint us, it was a completely different world full of vitality. There were surf shops and coffee shops of all sizes along the street, and the color matching was dazzling. Just take a picture and you can feel the hot summer island atmosphere.
The beach with clear water, the coconut trees lining the road, and the colorful street decorations all make this the most beautiful road.
Each store has its own characteristics, but the tropical atmosphere remains unchanged. Even the waiters in the store work in bikinis, with tanned wheat-colored skin and colorful braids. No one is out of place, and they are all a beautiful sight.
Riyue Bay is a crescent-shaped bay surrounded by mountains and waters. It is surrounded by mountains in the north and borders the South China Sea in the south. It is a famous surfing resort in China. There are huge rocks in the sea and the waves are quite spectacular. It is suitable for surfing all year round, and the 2-meter waves are mostly concentrated from October to February of the following year.
The beach here is not very good, but it is a good place for surfing. You can watch the sunrise here. It costs 25 yuan to take a tricycle from Shimei Bay. There seems to be a bus going back and forth between Shimei Bay and Riyue Bay, but the number of buses is relatively small. The best accommodation here is Forest Inn.
Sun Moon Bay is also called Sun Moon Bay Haimen Tourist Area. Because there are two upright stones facing the sea, it looks like Haimen. This is a surfing resort, and the waves are indeed bigger than those in Shimei Bay. It is also nice to watch the sunrise here, but unfortunately the clouds were too thick to see it, but the sunset and morning glow are very beautiful.
The better accommodation here is Shenlin Inn. There are several barbecue or seafood restaurants on the roadside, as well as cheap Shaxian snacks.
If you are not a serious surfer, don't even think about it. There are so many people, traffic jams and no parking spaces.
Riyue Bay is famous for its surfing and various bars, where young people gather, but it is also famous for having many "assassins". I heard that a cup of American coffee can cost 65 yuan.
Douyin is definitely poisonous. I believed it. What the hell is this place? The beach is so dirty, and the sea doesn't look that good. It's a long way to eat here. The food around here is all rip-offs. A broken blue crab costs more than 200 yuan. This place is suitable for people who have never been to a seaside city. The beach is very small, and the beach smells like urine when you walk... I'm really defeated. I believed what Douyin said that Wanning is better than Sanya...
Facing the sea, there are two reefs like two doors to the sea. There is a fishing village and a market. There is a statue of Mazu and a Mazu Pavilion. You can also ride horses on the beach.
Sun Moon Bay belongs to Wanning City and is a national sailing base. This is my first time here. The scenery in Hainan is basically the same, with blue sky, sunshine, beach, waves and coconut breeze.
I waited until sunset to go out for a stroll in the bay, and found that the sunset glow in Riyue Bay was simply beautiful.
Especially at sunset, the red clouds in the sky make the Sun Moon Bay look like a fairyland.
Sun Moon Bay is the ideal place for a unique surfing trip.
The day before, the guy at the post station strongly recommended taking a detour to Riyue Bay, where the sunshine and beach are purer than other places. Riyue Bay is a paradise for surfers, with clear water, no hustle and bustle of scenic spots, and a particularly high frequency of waves. World-renowned competitions are also frequently held here. Along the way, you can see surfers riding the waves, and the waves splashing against the rocks give this winter a gentle lingering feeling. The sea breeze shuttles through the coconut trees, making me want to set up a tent and eat hot pot on the beach.
There were few people on the beach and it was very quiet. Except for us, everyone seemed to be surfers. When my baby saw the beach, he started to shovel sand. There were surfers taking a break on the beach. A pair of foreign friends in sexy clothes were leaning on the shore watching the sea. Their perfectly tanned skin and good figures were so pleasing to the eyes.
When you come to Hainan, you should visit some unconventional scenic spots. After seeing the calm sea, you will especially like the coast with big waves. I saw many surfing enthusiasts having a great time! Highly recommended
The beach is a little bit down the highway, and there are coconut trees and barbecue stalls on the beach, which is great. The waves are a bit big, but I feel so happy when I see the sea.
Opposite the stone with the name of Hainan Sun Moon Bay, that restaurant is such a disgrace to the people of Sun Moon Bay! The male boss is of such poor quality, he roars like a vicious dog, swears and uses dirty words! Because I wanted to go to the empty yard on the right side of his restaurant to find the bathroom, he scolded me out before I even got there! Several other tourists who I didn’t know were also very angry! He is a local tyrant, a rogue, and a thug! I used to have a good impression of Hainanese people, and I thought most of them were honest, but this person made Hainanese people embarrassed! He tarnished the good image of Hainan!
Sun Moon Bay is located between Jiaxin and Tianxin in the southern part of Xinglong Tourism Zone, Wanning City, Hainan Province, connected to Lingshui County in the west and bounded by Niuling. It is a newly developed tourist resort in Wanning. Sun Moon Bay is a famous surfing resort in China, 168 kilometers away from Haikou City and 87 kilometers away from Sanya City. It is only 500 meters from the entrance of Sun Moon Bay on the East Expressway to the scenic spot. Hainan Wanning Sun Moon Bay is one of the sea areas with high-quality fixed-point waves and beach waves in the world. The water here is clear, and the annual average temperature of the seawater is about 26.5℃. It is suitable for surfing all year round. The 2-meter big waves are from October to March of the following year, which lasts for half a year. The waves are long and extremely powerful, and the frequency of waves is high. It is the bay with the best surfing resources in China and is loved by surfers at home and abroad! Wanning Sun Moon Bay holds various domestic and international high-level surfing competitions every year, including: "WSL Women's Longboard Surfing Championship", "WSL Men's Longboard Surfing Championship", "ISA China Cup Men's and Women's Shortboard Competition", "ASP Men's Shortboard Hainan Elite Competition", "WSL Women's Shortboard Championship Selection", "Surfing Hainan Open", etc. The high-quality competitions of the two world surfing authoritative organizations, WSL and ISA, gathered in Wanning Sun Moon Bay, bringing together many top surfers in the world, making Wanning Sun Moon Bay the focus of world surfing and written into the geographical picture of the world surfing resort.
The sky in Riyue Bay was clear, and there were no tourists. The beach washed by the heavy rain was also very clean. The sand crabs on the beach were running fast, and the broken wooden boat was lying quietly on the shore.
It is very close to the Ring Island Expressway, and it only takes 2 minutes to drive there after getting off the expressway. It is a free beach with almost no management, so the staff are noisy, the environment is dirty and messy, and the beach is full of all kinds of garbage. There is a supporting park opposite the beach, which is currently closed. In fact, the beach here is the type I prefer, with sand and reefs, and it is easy to take good photos. Unfortunately, the sanitary environment is really a bit of a downer.
When the tide is not high, the reef outside the beach on the right side of Riyue Bay is exposed above the water. At this time, it is a good choice to go to the reef to find gobies and enjoy a natural fish therapy. When the waves are big, taking a surfboard and surfing on the sea will be another experience.
The sea is beautiful and blue...surfing paradise...will definitely go again
The kids had a blast, great place for surfing.
Sun Moon Bay is a beach with few tourists even in Hainan's peak tourist season. It has a kind of beauty after prosperity, but it is not suitable for swimming because there are too many reefs on the shore and the wind and waves are too strong, but the scenery is beautiful. There are also rare golden coconuts in Sanya, 15 yuan each. Although the water is not as much as the green coconut, it is very sweet. I highly recommend it! Green coconuts are not expensive, 8 yuan each. Friends who don't have time to go to the wholesale market are recommended to buy a few to take home. The people there are simple and honest. 9 people only spent more than 400 yuan and had a great time! Sun Moon Bay is famous because the scenery there is beautiful and convenient. It is just off the exit of Hainan Ring Expressway.
This is Riyue Bay. It is said on the Internet that Riyue Bay is a very suitable place for surfing. But when we arrived, we just felt that it was a bay with many reefs. The blue sea and the reefs on the beach were unique. We also saw newlyweds taking wedding photos here, but the sun was so strong that we felt sorry for them.
Generally speaking, Riyue Bay is worth a visit. You can get off the ring highway at Riyue Bay and drive for no more than 5 minutes to reach it. It is a free scenic spot.
The tour group has to go to a scenic spot first, but I skipped it and went straight to the beach. The waves in Riyue Bay are the biggest.
Highly recommended, it's so cool to surf with few people, the scenery is nice and there are some big rocks that are quite pleasing to the eye
Sun Moon Bay is located in Wanning City on the east line of Hainan Ring Island Expressway. There is a Sun Moon Bay Expressway exit, which is easy to find. No entrance fee is required for Sun Moon Bay.
Riyue Bay is the world's surfing base. The beach is very unique - there are sand and rocks, and the waves hitting the rocks are very exciting! It is a good place to watch the sunrise; the coconut trees on the coastal road set off the waves, the beach, the blue sky and white clouds. It is a good place to take pictures, and you can take a lot of beautiful photos!
Accommodation and catering are already available! Xinhaifu and Lexie Congee City have good products at moderate prices; Sun Moon Bay is a must-see attraction for me when I go to Hainan in recent years!
The bay has a long and beautiful beach, and it has the largest surfing base in the country. There are few tourists in the scenic area, which is suitable for vacation
I was awakened by the sunshine in the morning and walked on the beach. Riyue Bay is a really good camping site. It is backed by Niuling Mountain, which is rolling and brings abundant rain. It faces the sea and has dozens of kilometers of gentle beaches, clear waves, fine sand, and reefs. Except for the inconvenience of washing, it is perfect.
This place seems to have a kind of beauty after prosperity. I heard from Cao that the sea water here is not as clean as before, and it feels like a place where prosperity has ended.
I still recommend a trip to Riyue Bay. Although the water quality has deteriorated, it is not much different from the water quality of Shimei Bay. It is also very beautiful, but there are few hotels and they are expensive.
Sun Moon Bay Nanhai Fishing Village is a fishing village on the seaside. When we entered the village, we first listened to the explanation of the origin of the fishing village, how people used to go out to sea to fish, etc. There were explanations for several scenic spots in the following days, which we called classes. After listening to the class, we strolled along the beach. On the way to the beach, there were fruits and swimming supplies for sale. We bought two coconuts. The green coconut was 10 yuan, more water and less sweet, and the golden coconut was 15 yuan, less water but very sweet. No bargaining, I recommend the golden coconut.
Apart from the four major bays in Sanya, this is the most mature seaside I saw during my trip around Hainan Island. It even has entertainment facilities, including camels for people to take pictures.
The reason why Riyue Bay is famous is that it is really beautiful.
During the National Day holiday, there were so many people that they had no time to take care of such lonely individual travelers, and had no time to check them in, collect room fees, or guide them to check in.
Although water and electricity have been restored here after the typhoon, some areas still need to be repaired, maintaining their original state that looks a bit bleak after being ravaged.
The water is really blue: the beach is clean and lively, not too noisy.
There is no supermarket in Riyue Bay, only one or two small shops. If you plan to stay here, it is best to prepare supplies in advance.
There are no bank ATMs in Riyue Bay, and many places do not accept credit cards. You need to bring enough cash or go to Xinglong to withdraw money. Although there are not suitable waves every day, it is a surfing resort that can be visited in all seasons.
There are not many people, the sea water is very clean, and the big sandy beach is not as clean as Yalong Bay and Shimei Bay (there are no high-end hotels and the investment and maintenance costs are limited), but it is relatively more pristine (there is a fishing village nearby where you can drink authentic Hainan coffee).
There are undercurrents, so you can't swim in the sea (you must also pay attention to safety when surfing).
It is very close to the highway exit, so you can walk here when long-distance buses pass by.
Here you can see towering cliffs, white sandy beaches, lush green trees, blue sky and blue sea. Watching sports and appreciating the beautiful scenery is a pleasant trip.
While enjoying the sunshine and beach in Wanning, I saw an advertisement on Xinglong Hot Spring Avenue and learned that it was the surfing competition held in Riyue Bay. I was not very interested in swimming, diving and surfing, but through this trip to Wanning, because I swam hundreds of meters every day, I not only have no aversion to water, but I have become more attached to it. It seems that traveling is beautiful... It happened to rain when we arrived at Riyue Bay, but the rain made the scenery here fresher, cleaner and more thorough... Although the beautiful scenery was just when we were about to leave, the nostalgia lasted for many days after we left. Traveling is not just about the preparations before the trip. It is fulfilling and happy. The enjoyment during the trip is naturally a direct manifestation of a good life. But there are also too many aftertastes after returning from the trip. Recording every minute and every second makes me feel a rebirth of the beautiful scenery, the excitement of meeting beauty again, and calmly...
Sun Moon Bay, surging waves, this is something you can't see on ordinary beaches! This is the mighty sea! But if you are not good at swimming, it is best not to go into the sea, there are undercurrents in the sea.
The water in Riyue Bay is quite good, but it is not surprising if you have seen the sea in Sanya. Riyue Bay is indeed a world surfing mecca, with strong waves and sea breeze.
The beach in Riyue Bay is very imperfect. It may be because no one has developed it. There is no artificial barrier. There are just some branches on the beach to warn tourists which places are dangerous and cannot be surfed. And when I surfed on this beach, there was no lifeguard. Friends who are not good at swimming should not try it easily.
Riyue Bay is a famous surfing destination and the waves are really big.
Pros: Super fine sand. Cons: No shade.
There are coconut trees along the way, the sun is shining brightly, and the air is filled with the scent of sea water.
Suddenly, to my right, the blue sea, blue sky, white clouds, black reefs, green coconut trees, silver sand and windsurfing boards unexpectedly caught my eye. The beautiful Sun Moon Bay was right in front of me.
Like a happy seagull, I broke free from the cage (the car) and dived onto the beach.
It's a team project. The weather was bad when we went there, with heavy clouds. If the weather was good, it would have been beautiful.
Riyue Bay is a relatively popular scenic spot among the numerous bays in Hainan, which is still freely accessible. Some famous bays have been occupied by resort hotels.
Sun Moon Bay is a tourist area with fine white sandy beaches, clear blue water, huge rocks in the sea, and waves crashing against the shore, which is quite spectacular. Not far from the exit is the Sun Moon Bay Taiwan Resort.
"The waters of 'Riyue Bay' are very clear and blue, and there are many reefs on the beach. The sea breeze was particularly strong and the waves were particularly large when we arrived. Standing under the blue sky and white clouds, feeling the sea breeze and looking at the endless sea, one's mood instantly relaxed. Friends who are traveling from Haikou to Sanya by car, please be sure to experience the beauty of "Riyue Bay" in person. Friends who are traveling in a tour group are not so lucky.
It is said that the wind is strong and the waves are big, so it is a place where you can play water surfing, so there are many shops nearby that can teach surfing. Generally, the fee is charged for 2 hours. I heard that you can try to play by yourself after teaching, but we brought our children with us and did not experience it. In addition, the transparency of the sea water here is also very good, and the scenery on the shore is also beautiful! The color layering of the sea water is also beautiful! There are some reefs and several statues on the shore.
We floated in the water, experiencing the waves coming one after another. The feeling of being swept up and down by the water was very, very fun. The children's excitement was immediately ignited! They kept shouting: "Dudu, the waves are big! Dudu, the waves are big!"
