Maluan Bay
马銮湾
A wide bay just south of Dongshan county town, with broad, flat sand and clear, shallow water. Resort hotels cluster here, and it is the closest beach for swimming to the town.
Maluan Bay is on the east coast of Dongshan Island, south of Tongling Town. It lies between Nanmen Bay to the north and Jinluan Bay to the south. Its arc-shaped beach is wide and gentle, and the water is clear and shallow. Along the shore are seaside resort hotels, seafood stalls and beach leisure facilities, and in summer you can swim, play in the sand and try water sports. Because it is close to town and has good facilities, it is one of the areas where independent travelers most often stay. Riding south along the coastal ring road takes you to Jinluan Bay. Most of the beach is free, though some areas charge during peak season. Swim only where lifeguards are present, and watch for rip currents and typhoon warnings.
