Putaotan Beach
葡萄滩海水浴场
A small seaside bathing beach in northern urban Weihai, with a gentle sandy slope and clear water. It is close to the city and popular with locals for swimming and clam digging.
Putaotan Beach lies in northern urban Weihai, along North Ring Sea Road in Huancui District. The small, arc-shaped bay has fine sand, a gentle slope, and very clear water. It sees fewer visitors than the International Bathing Beach, making it a favourite spot for locals to swim and dig for clams in summer. Entry is free. In summer there are basic showers and changing rooms (paid), and seafood restaurants nearby. It can be combined with Banyue Bay and the scenic views along North Ring Sea Road, and it is about 10 minutes by taxi from the city centre. When swimming, stay within the safe zone and watch the tides. The reef areas are slippery, so take care.
Opening hours
