[2025 Sanya Attraction] Travel Guide for Xiaodonghai (Updated Jan)

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.

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.

Sanya Travel Pitfall Avoidance Guide, A Must-Read! Protect Your Travel Experience Dear travel buddies, although Sanya, this tropical gem, is beautiful, it’s easy to fall into traps if you don’t do your homework in advance! I have carefully compiled this pitfall avoidance guide, hoping that every one of you who is about to embark on a trip to Sanya can smoothly avoid these 'traps' and make your journey more enjoyable! Pitfall 1: Sunscreen is a must! The sun in Sanya is scorching, with temperatures ranging between 27-33°C. You must do a good job of sun protection, or you’ll go home looking like a 'little black charcoal'! Pitfall 2: Flight tips! Sanya Airport has limited flights and higher prices. Consider transferring from Haikou Meilan Airport and then taking the high-speed train to Sanya, which is economical and convenient. Pitfall 3: Modes of transportation! Sanya has no subway, and the distances between attractions are quite far. Renting a car or using ride-hailing platforms is the best choice. Although electric scooters are flexible, riding under the scorching sun is too exhausting, so choose carefully. Pitfall 4: Accommodation recommendations! The Dadonghai area has many hotels and homestays, convenient transportation, and plenty of food, making it a cost-effective choice. If your budget allows, the luxurious experiences in Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay are also worth trying. Pitfall 5: West Island day trip! West Island is stunning under the sun, and the jellyfish sea is not to be missed. It’s recommended to set off early to avoid the peak crowd. Pitfall 6: Night market exploration! Sanya has numerous night markets, so choose one close to your accommodation. Popular night markets like Yiheng, First Market, Ganghua, and Linwang offer a variety of snacks and great shopping deals. Pitfall 7: Night market fruit shopping! The night market offers a wide variety of fruits at relatively transparent prices. Late at night, boxed fruits are more affordable, and you can go to Honggang Market for wholesale and shipping. Pitfall 8: Sun Bay road trip tips! The scenery is beautiful, but non-drivers should be cautious. There are strict 7-minute parking limits along the way due to surveillance cameras. Pitfall 9: Sun and insect protection! Mosquitoes are active in Sanya, so don’t forget insect repellent while protecting yourself from the sun. If bitten, avoid scratching and use saline or compound calamine lotion to relieve it. Pitfall 10: Planning your visit to attractions! Best in the morning: West Island, Wuzhizhou Island, Forest Park, Nanshan Temple, Duty-Free Shop, to avoid the peak sun and enjoy the fresh morning. Evening time: Coconut Dream Corridor, Xiaodonghai, Sun Bay, Yalong Bay Beach, as well as Luhuitou, Haichang Fantasy Town, where the tranquility and brilliance of the night await your exploration. Fun of sea catching: Xiaodonghai, Sun Bay, West Island, Sanya Bay Haipo, etc., to feel the gifts of the sea and harvest a lot of seafood fun. I hope this guide will make your trip to Sanya smoother and more enjoyable, avoiding unnecessary troubles and losses, and allowing you to fully enjoy the charm of this tropical paradise!

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

The most beautiful beach in Dadonghai

Sanya is a great place to roam. There are many bays to visit. Each of them are better than others. My last step was xiaodonghai it is just behind the dadonghai. We arrive here my chance while we are roaming around. First we pass from a local society later we find the main road. This place is little bit secret and seperated. We park in the intercontinental's parking lot later we enjoyed the beach. Tea time at intercontinental's beach café was amazing. I realy recommend to come Sanya and especially find this secret place. Sea is turquoise clear nice and not so cold to enter. I want to spend all my day here. Even some people was camping under coconut trees. #sanya #momentsmission #christmastravel #luxuryhotel

Amazing place! Xiaodonghai is a beautiful bay in Sanya city, China, with clean see through water, there’s a hotel Horizon Sanya, where you may stay either in the high rise building or in the bungalows at the water itself. I loved this place, and if you ask me if I’d come back there, I’d surely said “Yes!” The only thing I’d improve in this place, is that there are not many restaurants around, neither local nor foreign ones. Thank you, Hainan for a wonderful experience! #wintergetaway

Xiaodonghai in Sanya: away from the hustle and bustle of the niche beach Many people in Sanya are going to the Dadonghai, so even in the off-season, the beach looks like a person in the past, while the Xiaodonghai next door is relatively speaking. There are far fewer people, but the scenery is not inferior to Dadonghai. Here, I saw several couples taking wedding photos. The beach is still docked with colorful sailboats, while the reefs are scattered, the coconut trees stand, and the sunset is slanting, adding a bit of romance to the beach. The weather in the typhoon is cloudy and uncertain, the sea is less tempered, the sea is surging, maybe there is such magic in the sea, watching the sea quietly, silly in a daze, listening to the sea and patping the reef Sound, doing nothing, is also very good. has always believed that the sea is also emotional, calm and calm on sunny days, sea and sky, fresh and bright, and in the rainy days, the wind is rising, the waves are soaring, the sea is deep and mysterious. But no matter what kind of sea, it is full of strength, people will become very small in front of the sea, as if all the troubles can be packaged and thrown into the sea, let the waves swallow up.

Dadonghai is one of the earliest developed sea areas, and it is also the most mature part of transportation and commerce. However, Xiaodonghai next to him is no one to care about. There are no crowds, no noisy noises, and some are just sea breeze and waves. There are still laughs and laughs from time to time. Xiaodonghai is the cleanest spot I have ever seen in Sanya. The whole sea is full of colorful blue. For the first time, I feel that there are so many blues. The sun shines on the sea like a blue one. The crystal ball, the pan-focused light, the entire sea is blingbling. Get up early in the morning and go straight to Xiaodonghai. There is a dense coconut tree in front of Xiaodonghai. It is the Xiaodonghai sea area through the coconut trees. Like I is hidden in the forest, there is a secret environment. There is no hole small east sea. However, there is absolutely a charm, every place is a holy place for travel, the most important thing is that there are few people, how to shoot how to shoot, the small pavilion in front of the beach, the photo is beautiful, but I was a little backlit when I was shooting. So the baby taking pictures pays attention to it. Xiaodonghai has no dense crowds, you can spend an afternoon under a coconut tree everywhere. You can sit and watch the wind and lightness here. You can close your eyes and enjoy the gentle sea breeze here. Everything is So relaxed and leisurely. Quietly close your eyes, listen to the sound of the waves, and blow the warm sea breeze, let the time slip away here ps

Compared with Dadonghai, Xiaodonghai is more like a quiet girl at the foot of Luhuitou Mountain. There are few tourists, but the scenery is not lost. There are rocks on the beach, tidal flats covered with coral reefs, coconut trees have a sea rhyme, and the wind blows through the faint coconut. The purity of the sea, the scarcity of tourists, the embellishment of the coconut grove, makes Xiaodonghai one of the best destinations for many Sanya photographers, so we chose the small Donghaihai at the foot of the deer. Transportation: Get off at the Intercontinental Hotel on the 26th Avenue, and cross the Intercontinental Hotel to Tickets: Free Opening Hours: Open all day

Surrounded by high-end residential areas and resorts, such as Anantara Resort Sanya Peninsula, InterContinental Resort. Compared with Dadonghai, the small East China Sea is rarely quiet. It is more like a quiet farm girl at the foot of Luhuitou Mountain. High quality sea and beach, wide coral reef platform, blue sky and blue sky, this is the most comfortable beach experience. If the Sanya sea area is recognized as a beach resort in the world, then the small East China Sea is a resort in the resort.

Xiaodonghai is located between Luhuitou and Dadonghai in Jiyang District, Sanya City. It is smaller than Dadonghai, like a quiet girl at the foot of Luhuitou.
