We had planned to bag some beach time at Beihai. I originally had my eyes on Weizhou Island, 36 nautical miles off the coast of Beihai. It turns out it would cost us $85 US just to make the roundtrip, due to the government ferry monopoly. And it wasn't certain whether there is lodging right on the beach.
We opted for a hotel right on the beach at Silver Beach in Beihai.
We are pleasantly surprised! The beach has a lot of activities: wildlife viewing, clamming, fishing, night shrimping, jet skiing, speed boating, swimming, umbrella lounging, beachcombing and tourist watching. Since it is HUGE L-shaped sandbar, there is plenty of room for everyone and lots of shells for Sun-Ling to pick up.

Sand dollars.
Sun-Ling and John have been traveling the earth since 2008 while blogging, eating vegetarian and vegan, and riding public transportation. We love uphill day hikes, 20th-century architecture, Roman ruins, all bodies of water, local markets, shopping for groceries, aqueducts, miradors, trip planning, blablacar, and more.
