Plage de Beihai, Public beach in Beihai, China
Playa de Beihai extends for about 24 kilometers along the Guangxi coast with a width ranging from about 30 to 300 meters. The sand consists of quartz grains that give the beach its light appearance.
The beach underwent significant improvements after 2008 to address water quality issues. Regular maintenance programs have since helped establish it as a recreational destination.
The northern section hosts restaurants and karaoke bars where locals and visitors mingle. The southern area keeps its natural character and serves as a working space for fishermen who continue their traditional practices.
The beach is open daily and offers rental services for lockers, showers, and beach equipment. Visitors should expect peak crowds during summer months.
The sand contains quartz crystals that give it a silvery shimmer. This effect is most visible in sunlight and creates the beach's distinctive gleam.
