Malan Island
麻蓝岛
A small island off the sea near Xiniujiao town, with sandy beaches, rocky reefs, and a full range of water activities. Easily combined with Sanniang Bay on the same day.
Malan Island lies off the east side of Qinzhou Bay, near Shajiao in Xiniujiao Town. It covers about 0.2 square km and is reached by a roughly 10-minute boat ride from the pier. The island has golden sand beaches, rocky reefs, and coconut groves. You can swim, dig for shellfish at low tide, and try motorboating, and the sea view changes noticeably as the tide rises and falls. Boat and island tickets together cost several dozen yuan, and it gets crowded on summer weekends. It is only a few km from Sanniang Bay, so the two are easy to visit on the same day.
