Xichong Beach
西涌海滩
One of Shenzhen's longest and cleanest beaches, at the southern tip of the Dapeng Peninsula. It is ideal for camping, surfing and stargazing.
Xichong lies at the southern tip of the Dapeng Peninsula. The beach stretches about 4 kilometres, with fine white sand and clear water. It has been named one of China's most beautiful coastlines. It's also one of the few places in Shenzhen with little light pollution, and an observatory is nearby. The beach has paid and free zones, where you can camp, surf and barbecue. Guesthouses and seafood restaurants line the coast. It's about 70 kilometres from the city centre, and public transport takes a long time, so driving or hiring a car is recommended. During holidays, the Dapeng Peninsula often has traffic controls.
