Wanpingkou Beach
万平口
Rizhao's most popular open seaside area, where a long sandy beach, a lagoon and an ocean park connect as one.
Wanpingkou lies in the middle of the seaside in Donggang District. It consists of the Wanpingkou Lagoon, a swimming beach and an ocean park. It is Rizhao's most representative city beach. The sand is long and fine. In summer you can swim, play in the sand and try stand-up paddleboarding. On the lagoon side is a sailing and windsurfing base, since Rizhao is known as a city of water sports. The square on the north side has large sculptures and a viewing platform, where you can watch the sun set over the sea and the city lights come on in the evening. Entry to the open beach area is free, but some park areas and amusement activities charge separate fees. The north side of the scenic area connects to Dongyi Town, and to the south you can cycle along the Sunshine Coast Greenway to the Lighthouse Scenic Area (about 4 km). Multiple city bus routes serve the area.
In summer the beach is crowded. Only swim where lifeguards are on duty, and protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated.
