Clearwater Bay
清水湾
A curved bay over 10 km long on the southern coast of Lingshui, with fine soft sand and clear water. It has the highest concentration of resort hotels and yacht marinas in Lingshui and is its most established seaside resort area.
Qingshui Bay lies on the southern coast of Yingzhou Town in Lingshui Li and Miao Autonomous County, about 40 km from Sanya city centre. A curved beach about 12 km long faces the South China Sea. The sand is fine and white, and it makes a faint squeaking sound underfoot, which is how the bay got its name. The water is clear, right down to the seabed. Along the bay are many resort hotels, apartments and yacht clubs. The public beaches are free to access and are good for walking, watching the sunrise and playing in the water. You can also set out to sea from the marina. It is quieter than Sanya Bay, so it suits a slow holiday of several days. Some sections have big waves and undercurrents, so only swim in areas with lifeguards. Phoenix Airport in Sanya is about 50 minutes' drive away. From Lingshui station on the coastal high-speed railway, it's about 30 minutes more by taxi. Coordinates are for the bay's location.
