Yudai Beach (Jade Belt Beach)
玉带滩
A narrow sandbar at the mouth of the Wanquan River, with river on one side and sea on the other. Guinness lists it as “the narrowest beach separating sea and river.”
Yudai Beach is a narrow sandbar about 8.5 km long, only a few dozen meters wide at its narrowest. It sits at the mouth where the Wanquan, Jiuqu and Longgun rivers meet the sea. Inside lies a calm river bend, and outside the waves of the South China Sea roll in. Guinness lists it as “the narrowest beach separating sea and river.” Boats usually depart from Boao town or the Dongyu Island pier. On the sandbar you can see Shenggong Stone and a giant clam sculpture, and take photos on either side. Boat and landing fees are confirmed on site. The outer waters have big waves and undercurrents, and swimming in the sea is prohibited.
