Dadonghai Beach (Dadonghai) is one of Sanya's cleanest beaches, situated about 3 km from the center of the city and just off the main road. The beach's close proximity to the city means that it can get very busy but this still remains a pleasant and convenient spot to kick off your shoes, soak up the rays and swim in the sea.
Like most of the beaches around Sanya, this is a truly tropical beach with 3km of white sand curving round a crescent shaped bay, warm blue seas and palm trees. Facilities here are good too. Water sports are popular and there are numerous small restaurants and bars serving up tasty snacks and drinks. It is particularly pleasant here in the evenings, when the sun sets and the crowds disperse.
