In Sanya｜The Stunning Dadonghai Beach Guide

Stop just crowding into Yalong Bay! The Dadonghai in the city is the hidden gem of heavenly beaches!
The renovated Dadonghai looks like a spilled bucket of blue paint 🎨
The seawater is so clear you can see little fish swimming by, and the sand is as white as if sprinkled with sugar
The best part is it’s free to enter and guarded by lifeguards, making it super safe!
A whole row of resort-style dining bars along the shore are perfect for photos, every shot looks like a magazine cover, many foreign friends sunbathe here, the vacation vibe is totally on point

💡Must-know tips for visiting:
Be sure to come on a sunny day! The more sun, the bluer the sea, and the better the photos
The beach is divided into swimming and rip current zones, always check the signs before entering the water! Swim according to the rules in the rip current area, safety first
