The Ultimate Guide to Yalong Bay in Sanya: Play, Eat, Stay, and Travel

☑️ Honestly, Sanya has many free beaches (Dadonghai and Coconut Dream Corridor are indeed nice), but when it comes to the ultimate comprehensive experience, Yalong Bay takes the crown! On sunny days, the seawater here is so clear that even phone cameras feel inadequate! The sand is white, fine, and soft—stepping on it feels like walking on cotton candy! There are also plenty of budget-friendly homestays nearby with great value, and the area is relatively less crowded, making it the perfect getaway! 🌊 【What to Do in Yalong Bay】 🏖️ Yalong Bay Public Beach 🌴 The Viral Leaning Coconut Tree (A must-visit spot!) 🌿 Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park 🤿 Baifu Bay 🛣️ Taiyang Bay Coastal Road 🏝️ Taiyang Bay Glass Sea 🏡 Bohou Village 🛏️ 【Where to Stay in Yalong Bay for the Best Experience?】 For the best balance of affordability and comfort, Bohou Village’s homestays are unbeatable! This time, I stayed at Shanhai Wutong, which was both photogenic and cozy. The entire homestay exudes a Zen-like vibe—whether it’s the service, scent, decor, or ambiance, everything feels soothing. The infinity pool is perfect for photos at any time of day, and the rooftop laundry room makes it super convenient to wash swimsuits after a dip. They even offer free afternoon tea, and the seafood noodles at breakfast were delicious. Plus, out of the four places I stayed in Sanya, this was the only one that excelled at pest control! The owner probably uses special wood—even though the balcony had bugs, none ever crawled inside. Even the Westin in Haitang Bay later couldn’t match this! 🍽️ 【Where to Eat in Yalong Bay Without Regrets】 You can’t visit the seaside without trying seafood! But dining in Yalong Bay’s core area (especially inside hotels) tends to be pricey. For great food at reasonable prices, check out: 1⃣️ Dongrong Food Plaza / Yatai Commercial Center 2⃣️ Outlets Seafood Square 3⃣️ Bohou Village Night Market 📝 Food Tips: 👉 When buying seafood for cooking, always clarify the processing fee (by weight or per item). 👉 Be cautious with restaurants recommended by taxi/ride-hail drivers—they might be getting kickbacks. 👉 Group-buy deals are a great way to save money and avoid scams! 🚗 【Getting Around Yalong Bay: The Easiest Way】 🚙 Renting a car is highly recommended! Yalong Bay is a large area with scattered attractions (Forest Park, Taiyang Bay, Bohou Village, etc.), so driving is the most flexible and efficient option. 📌 Ultimate Travel Tips (Key Points!) ☀️ Sunny days! Sunny days! Sunny days! The glass sea and gradient blues rely on ample sunlight—cloudy days ruin the effect. The light after 3 PM is perfect for photos, with the sea sparkling. 🧴 Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sanya’s UV rays are a "chemical attack"! High-SPF sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing/umbrellas are a must when not taking photos—otherwise, you’ll get a "Sanya-exclusive tan" in just half a day. 💧 Stay hydrated: The heat drains your energy, so drink plenty of water or coconut water. Apply a face mask before bed! 🗑 Protect the environment: Beautiful beaches depend on everyone—please take your trash with you or throw it in the bins!
