based on 7 reviewsXunliao Bay is located on the western end of Renping Peninsula in Huidong, Huizhou, by the Daya Bay. Known for its clear seawater and fine white sand, it is often referred to as the "heaven-sent white gold beach." As a popular coastal resort near the Pearl River Delta, it often attracts self-drive visitors from Guangzhou and Shenzhen on weekends.
A coastline stretching over 20 km connects a series of bays, featuring public beaches like Xunliao Bay and Deze Garden, as well as private beaches affiliated with hotels, all with fine, soft sand and gentle slopes, perfect for wading and sand play. The sea is dotted with small islands, among which Delta Island is accessible by speedboat, offering snorkeling and sailing boat activities. Onshore, Mozishi Park is renowned for its "shallow sea stone forest," with giant rocks like Mushroom Rock and Sea Lion Rock scattered along the coast. The iconic "wind-eroded rocking stone," which sways but never falls, is a signature sight and a popular spot for sunset views. In the Tianhou Palace Lingnan Folk Culture Street, the white-walled arcade buildings of Lingnan architecture complement the Mazu culture, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll. The resort area also preserves a natural mangrove forest.
The experience goes beyond beach strolls, shell collecting, and sunbathing. Joining local fishermen for trawling is a highly representative activity, where you keep the catch and can have it cooked at nearby stalls. Enjoy the fresh sweetness of the day's seafood with dishes like salt and pepper mantis shrimp, ginger and scallion stir-fried flower crabs, and steamed fish. To avoid crowds, head to the bays near Nanhai fishing village, where locals frequent quieter shores.

If you're short on time and have to choose one, go to Shuangyue Bay. But if you're looking for a weekend getaway, to relax, enjoy seafood, feel the sea breeze, and not rush through tourist attractions, then choose Xunliao Bay. Many people choose Xunliao Bay for their winter getaways.
