Zhongao Beach
中澳沙灘
The largest beach beside Baisha Harbor, where most water activities are concentrated; the shallow offshore waters are good for spotting sea turtles and tropical fish.
Zhongao Beach lies on the east side of Baisha Tourist Harbor and is one of the largest beaches on Xiaoliuqiu. Its white sand and calm bay make it the hub for water activities such as banana boats, jet skis, snorkeling and glass-bottom boat tours. At low tide there is an intertidal zone beyond the outer edge of the beach, and sea turtles are often seen near the shore. Admission is free. Shops multiply in summer, and the beach is an easy walk from the pier. Anyone going into the water should stay within the area monitored by operators or lifeguards, and should watch out for sun exposure and rip currents.
