Shimei Bay, Wanning! This super comprehensive guide has everything you need

Girls! If you're looking for a place with stunning sea views and a relaxing vacation vibe, Shimei Bay is absolutely perfect! From transportation to accommodation, food, and must-visit spots, it’s all here. After reading, just go for it~ 🚗 Transportation Guide ● Plane + High-speed Rail: Fly to Haikou Meilan Airport or Sanya Phoenix Airport first, then take the high-speed train to Wanning Station. The whole trip takes about an hour. After getting off, take a taxi to Shimei Bay, which takes just over 20 minutes. Very convenient. ● Self-driving: If you like freedom, self-driving is an excellent choice! Drive along Hainan G98 Ring Expressway to the Wanning Shimei Bay exit, follow the signs, and enjoy the island scenery along the way. Super relaxing~ 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations ● High-end Seaview Hotels: Hotels like Shimei Bay Le Méridien Resort and The Westin Resort are right by the sea. Open your window to the blue ocean and wake up to the sound of waves in the morning—so romantic! The hotels have excellent facilities, including pools and spas, making your vacation feel complete~ ● Unique Homestays: For a more local experience, choose a villa homestay in the mountains. They offer great value, and some hilltop villas overlook the entire Shimei Bay seascape. Stargazing at night is super romantic, perfect for girlfriends or couples. 🍽️ Food Recommendations ● Jiuli Run Street in Shimei Bay: You can find Hainan’s top three dishes here—coconut chicken, fermented vinegar, and herb duck. The coconut chicken is sweet and tasty, the fermented vinegar is sour and spicy to whet your appetite, and the herb duck is tender and flavorful. Every bite is super satisfying—you must try them! ● Shimei Bay Village Entrance Food Street🏖️: A favorite spot for locals, especially known for Qingbuliang (a refreshing dessert). It’s rich in texture with coconut jelly, red beans, mung beans, and more. A bowl in summer is refreshing and cooling. ● Seaside Restaurants🏖️: There are many restaurants by the sea in Shimei Bay where you can enjoy seafood while admiring the ocean view. Fresh lobster, crab, shellfish, all caught and cooked on the spot. The taste is amazing! Prices might be a bit higher, but the experience is fantastic! 📌 Must-visit Spots ● Reef Beach📍: The waves here are quite strong, great for photos but not recommended for swimming. There are a few ice drink shops on the shore where you can order a giant coconut or juice, sit on a sofa chair, feel the sea breeze, and watch the waves crash against the rocks. Super relaxing. Drinks start at 30 RMB, which I think is totally worth it. ● Le Méridien Hotel Private Beach📍: Within walking distance from Reef Beach, this beach has gentle slopes and clear water, perfect for playing in the water and surfing. At low tide, a knee-deep sea area forms without waves, ideal for young kids to swim and play. It’s also very photogenic. ● The Westin Hotel Beach📍: This beach offers many activities like beach buggies, sand motorcycles, and water parachutes, great for older girls and friends to have fun together. After playing, you can go straight through The Westin lobby without backtracking. Very convenient. 💡 Tips ● 🏖️ The UV rays in Wanning are very strong, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun. Prepare sun-protective clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat, or you’ll easily get tanned or sunburned.
