Yangjiang 3 Days 2 Nights Family Trip｜Summer Water Fun Guide

Stay in the "Shell House" on Hailing Island, go beachcombing and digging sand, sail on a catamaran, chase the blue tears—your child's summer vacation highlight!

Who says Guangdong’s coast is just crowded beaches?
In Yangjiang·Hailing Island, we found a stretch of undeveloped turquoise sea and silver beach—
Pick shells on the fine sand at dawn, catch little crabs at low tide with the kids;
Sail on a catamaran during the day, let the kids steer and chase the waves;
Run barefoot on the ten-mile silver beach at dusk, watch the sunset dye the sea golden red;
At night, encounter the "blue galaxy" on the beach—the glowing blue tears gently lapping the shore…

This summer, no need to pitch a tent to sleep in an "ocean dream."
3 days 2 nights, unlock a low-threshold + high-fun + zero-pressure parent-child water play mode.

⚠️ Special things to avoid:

🚫 Don’t let kids go into the water alone!
Even shallow areas have currents, parents must watch closely

🚫 Don’t wear ordinary slippers for beachcombing!
Mudflats are slippery with shell fragments, wear non-slip water shoes or clogs

🚫 Don’t dig coral or take live creatures!
Only pick up dead shells, protect marine ecology

🚫 Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen!
Strong UV by the sea, reapply every 2 hours

🚫 Don’t miss the tide schedule!
Check the “Hailing Island Tide Table” in advance, best beachcombing time is 1 hour before low tide

One last sentence for you:

A child’s summer shouldn’t be just air conditioning and iPads,
But writing their first name in the sand, learning courage in the waves, hearing the sea’s breath under the stars.

When you squat by the mudflat,
Your child holding a little crab shouts: “Dad, look! It pinched my finger!”
At that moment you’ll understand—
The best childhood memories
Are not how many toys you bought,
But running barefoot toward that freedom blue.
