小东海
A small bay on the east side of Luhuitou Peninsula with plenty of reefs and coral, a popular spot near the city for snorkelling and diving.
Xiaodonghai lies on the east side of Luhuitou Peninsula, just south of Dadonghai. The bay is small, and there are many underwater reefs and corals, making it a common place near downtown Sanya to try snorkelling and deeper diving. Many dive shops run introductory dives here, and there are seaside restaurants and hotels on shore. Some parts of the bay are managed by hotels or operators. Going into the water requires a licensed provider and attention to safety. Do not step on or collect coral.
