Tianya Haijiao beach

Tianya Haijiao is a popular recreation area in the south of Hainan Island in China. There are a lot of huge rocks, that form a landscape looking like Seychelles islands. There are also areas with beautiful palm trees. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Coordinates: 18.297453, 109.342563

Hotels [edit]

A short distance from the beach there are a lot of cheap guesthouses, as well as few mid-range hotels.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Sanya Phoenix International Airport (SYX). Then hire a taxi. Also you may fly to Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK), but it located in the north of island - far from best beaches. You can move around the island by buses, but it can be hard to understand how local transport is working.

When to go [edit]

Rainy season lasts from May to October, but sea water is warm during this period. On the other hand from November to April there are no rains, but the water is cold. Therefore, the optimal time for a beach holiday in the island of Hainan is spring and autumn.
