Dongdaihe Beach (Suizhong)
东戴河海滨（绥中）
A seaside resort in Suizhong, Liaoning, just 7 km from Shanhaiguan. It has soft sand and gentle waves, is quieter than Beidaihe, and suits family play in the water.
Dongdaihe lies in Suizhong County, Huludao City, Liaoning Province, only about 7 km from Shanhaiguan. Its coastline stretches for dozens of kilometers along the Bohai. It is known for fine, soft sand and shallow, gentle waters. Development started later than in Beidaihe, so the area is calmer and offers good value. The main beaches are concentrated around the Dongdaihe New Area, and Zhimao Bay to the east is also a popular bathing spot. There are many sea-view apartments and guesthouses along the coast. July and August are the best months for swimming, and the beaches are free to access. Hygiene standards vary, so choose an official bathing area with lifeguard facilities. Take the high-speed rail to Dongdaihe Station, or a taxi from Shanhaiguan for about 20 minutes. It fits well into an itinerary with Shanhaiguan, Old Dragon Head and the Jiukou Pass Great Wall.
