Xiaodonghai

Xiaodonghai is one of several beaches in the Sanya area. What I love about Xiaodonghai is how peaceful it gets. The view is amazing, there are so many trees providing enough shade, and it’s never crowded like other beaches. Lots of privacy and a great place to have a small get together with friends, play volleyball, or have a picnic. People also like to go fishing there. I kid you not, sometimes it’s so peaceful, I just take a nap while playing chill music on my speakers. it’s all waves and wind. Its also a great area for snorkeling. You should definitely check it out when you have the chance. #beachlife #beachbum #celebratewithtrip #mytripvlog

Xiaodonghai is a tiny bay found in the southwest of Dadonghai. Similar to most beaches in Sanya, it contains coconut groves, clean beaches and clear waters. However, compared to Dadonghai and Yalong Bay, there are not many people who know about it. It is a more peaceful environment. Xiaodonghai is a cozy and lovely beach with white sand and blue water surrounded by palm trees. It is the perfect beach for sunbathing, snorkelling and swimming. Perfect for your summer photoshoots or to relax and read a good book. #summervacation #beachlife #mytripvlog #tripblazers #passionpassport #couplestrip

Xiaodonghai Beach There are so many beaches and hotels at Sanya, it can become overwhelming when deciding on a location. We usually stay at Yalong Bay, however, this summer, we decided to try Xiaodonghai for something different and were pleasantly surprised. Pros: -hosts a mix of luxury and affordable resorts and airbnbs but doesn't feel super touristy (we can highly recommend the Luhuitou Sanya Resort) -the shady palm tree-lined 🌴beach is very quiet and less crowded than most of Sanya's beaches -short drive to the popular Dadonghai beach where you will find the best nightlife at places such as Dolphin Bar & Grill. -lots of options on meituan -at low tide many rockpools become exposed which makes for an afternoon of fun exploring for the kids -has a large supermarket and small Chinese restaurants across the road from the beach -you aren't hassled every second by someone trying to sell you something, though you do get the odd person selling fruit which is nice -the beach is dog friendly but kept clean. Cons: -there is only a small section where you can swim because there are lots of rocks beneath the surface -there are many small sharp rocks and shells as you enter the water, however, once you're in it's fine. -it's not as beautiful at low tide Best location for those who want some peace and quiet throughout the day, but also access to a wide variety of bars and restaurants in the evening. 🍉🍹 #beachlife #sanya #sanyatravel #summervacation

Getting There - You can take a plane ✈️ or train 🚂 to Sanya. From there it’s a short Taxi drive to Xiaodonghai area. It’s right next to the famous Dadonghai beach area. Attractions - The beach is serene and amazingly comfortable. It’s quite when you go during the week and in off seasons. Such an amazing place to take your blanket and relax on the beach. Hotels - There are a few hotels in the vicinity, but we stayed in Dadonghai - which is only about 7 min drive away. Food & Restaurants - There are a few restaurants that’s usually open, but they weren’t open when we went in the off season. I believe there are many restaurants close by if you’re feeling hungry. 🌴🌴 Go here to see the magnificent beach, the amazing palm trees on the beach and the fisher boats 🛶. #beachlife #staycation #travellater

Xiaodonghai is a small bay found in the southwest of Dadonghai. Similar to most beaches in Sanya, it contains coconut groves, clean beaches and clear waters. However, compared to Dadonghai and Yalong Bay, there are not many people who know about it. It is a more peaceful environment. The Xiaodonghai Sea area is a coral reef reserve with gorgeous coral reefs and tropical fish. This makes the beach ideal for snorkeling, swimming and stand-up paddle boarding. The beach is really easy to find either by didi or ebike. There are a number of fabulous restaurants linked to the intercontinental hotel along the beach. It's a must-visit when in Sanya.

Visiting Sanya, you must experience the joy of seashore foraging, and the top choice for that in Sanya is the rocky beach of Xiaodonghai. The reason for choosing this location is firstly, the scenery here is beautiful, with the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening both being picturesque landscapes. Secondly, the beach here has many rocks, which are very suitable for various small marine animals to live. Thirdly, the waves here are not big, providing very convenient natural conditions for people when foraging. Additionally, the transportation to Xiaodonghai is extremely convenient, allowing people to come and go quickly. Before foraging at Xiaodonghai, some necessary preparations should be made: wear long waterproof rubber boots, a pair of bite-resistant gloves. Bring a suitably sized bucket, prepare a small shovel for digging sand. Those with higher requirements should prepare a small fishing net. With these tools, our foraging trip can yield greater rewards. 🏝Location: Near Xiaodonghai (You can take a taxi🚖 to "CITIC Peninsula" which is very convenient. After arriving, tell the driver to keep driving down, and you will see a steep path, be careful when descending) ✍Preparation before departure: Download the "Tide" APP to check the tide conditions for the day Foraging Tools🔧: Small plastic bucket🪣; Rubber gloves🧤; Foraging tongs... 🌟🌟Warm Tips: 1. Safety must be prioritized✅ The seaside can have strong winds and fierce waves🌊. Do not let children wander too far, and since there are many slippery rocks, it is recommended to bring older children for the experience, and it is not recommended for children under 6 years old, not recommended, not recommended‼ 2. Forage rationally✅ It's enough to experience the fun of foraging. If you catch too small an animal, be sure to let it go back to its home before you leave. 3. Protect the environment✅ Do not, do not, do not, do not❌ litter🚮. Trash should be in the trash can, not on such a beautiful beach. This is not just a sea, but also the home of many marine creatures🏠. Take the trash back the way you brought it!

The winter virus in Beijing is rampant, so I took advantage of the winter vacation to bring my children to Sanya to rent a house and live for a month, and I decided... I will come again next year! Accommodation: The rented community is in Tianya District, the community name: Vanke Sea Metropolitan Left Bank, the community is very new, there are many people, slides, seesaws, swings, swimming pools, etc., everything that should be there. We rented a 120-square-meter three-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom high-rise sea view room, which accommodated seven people. The house is well decorated and new, and the sea is just across the road from the south gate of the community. The sand is fine and suitable for children to play. Because it is close to the airport, you can enjoy watching planes in the community. Food: There are seafood stalls, cao bai vinegar hot pot, Xinjiang big plate chicken, and mutton hot pot outside the community. There are also many roadside fruit stalls. There is also a Yang Mama porridge shop in the community. You can have some porridge and pancakes for breakfast. Takeaways can be ordered and delivered directly to the downstairs of the unit. Occasionally, you can also go to a nearby five-star hotel to group buy a buffet and have fun. Play: If you live for a long time, you don't have to hurry to play. Most of the time is spent in the community outdoors + digging sand on the beach downstairs. Every other day, go to a scenic spot. Be sure to do sun protection, although the highest temperature is only more than 20 degrees, but the ultraviolet rays are very strong. We rented a GL8 seven-seater, 200 a day, and the landlord helped to enter the license plate. After that, the community parking underground parking lot was free to enter and exit, and there were plenty of parking spaces, which was very convenient. The garage can directly enter the house by elevator. Tianya District is not far from West Island, Tianya Haijiao, Tianya Town, Daxiao Dongtian, South China Sea Guanyin and other scenic spots. All the scenic spots are fun (anyway, the baby is playing with water and digging sand wherever he goes). By the way, when we went to Nanshan Scenic Area, there were too many cars, and the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area was not allowed to enter. We could only park in the parking lot 1.2 kilometers away from the scenic area. It was really impossible to walk with children and the elderly. Then there were local villagers who rode motorcycles to pull live, 80 yuan a car (you can bargain), you can enter the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area after a round in the village, saving a 2.4-kilometer trek, this money is too valuable. In addition to Tianya District, we also went to Dadonghai for two days. There are many Russians and it is very lively. The beach is also suitable for walking with children. Xiaodonghai is suitable for sea catching, and Lu Huitou can watch the sunset. Or drive to the beach in Yalong Bay for a day. If you have nothing to do, you can sign up for a day trip to Wuzhizhou Island for a day, or go to Atlantis, tropical rainforest, etc.~ End of nagging, in short, the winter in Sanya is too comfortable, although it is tanned, but I will come again next winter vacation Tianya District·Sanya

On Saturday, walk along Luling Road, pass Deer Turning Head Scenic Area and continue inside, Deer Ming Road, Deer Turning Head Road, to the Half Mountain Peninsula, enter Xiaodonghai Scenic Area from the front of the Intercontinental Hotel. Compared with more than three years ago, it seems that there are fewer tourists. The color of the sea water is still very beautiful, layered, and the depth varies. Spread out the beach mat under the shade of the coconut trees, lie flat, look at the sky and clouds, watch the leaves sway, the breeze is slow, listen to the waves hitting the beach, life is beautiful.
