Honestly, I expected more given all the hype. Yes, the water is beautiful, but the beach was packed with tourists and selfie sticks. The water sports are fun but way overpriced. We paid 200 yuan for a 15-minute jet ski ride – felt like a rip-off. If you want a quiet beach experience, skip this and go to a less famous spot. Just my honest take.
Sunset at Yalong Bay is magical. I grabbed a coconut and just watched the sky turn pink and orange over the water. The beach wasn't too crowded in the late afternoon, which was a plus. My only complaint is that the sand had a few cigarette butts here and there – wish people would be more respectful. Still, a lovely peaceful evening.
We came here with our kids and had a fantastic time. The shallow area is safe for little ones to splash around, and there are lifeguards on duty. Rentals for umbrellas and chairs are reasonably priced. The only downside is that the food options nearby are a bit overpriced. But if you bring your own snacks, it's a perfect family day out.
Nice beach overall, but it felt a bit too commercialized for my taste. The water was clean and warm, perfect for swimming. However, the constant hawkers selling sunglasses and fruit got annoying after a while. Also, the public restroom could use a serious upgrade. Still, a solid choice for a relaxing day by the sea if you don't mind the noise.
Absolutely stunning! The water is so clear and turquoise, like a postcard. We spent the whole morning just floating around. The sand is soft and white, and there are plenty of shaded spots if you need a break from the sun. Definitely the best beach I've visited in Hainan. Highly recommend getting there early to avoid the midday crowds.
