Silver Beach is a coastal resort located in the southern part of Beihai. It consists of Silver Beach Park, Beach Park, and a variety of entertainment facilities.
This place is particularly special because of the beach itself. The sand is extremely fine, and walking on it hardly leaves footprints. Due to its superior quartz sand, the entire beach shimmers with a silver light under the sun, hence the name ‘Silver Beach’. There are many small sand crabs on the beach that burrow and roll sand balls, which are quite endearing. The beach is flat, with the tide receding quickly and rising slowly, making it an ideal place for seaside bathing and marine sports.
Silver Beach Park is more popular, so most water sports are set here. Beach Park is more suitable for leisurely strolls. The iconic sculpture of Beihai, the large steel sphere, is also located within.
You should prepare your own swimming gear such as swimsuits and beach shoes. There are small shops nearby the beach where you can rent or buy them. The resort also offers paid entertainment options like motorboats and beach buggies, and beach chairs for rent. If you have enough time, you can lie by the sea until the sun sets in the evening, which is very pleasant.
The ultraviolet rays during the day at Silver Beach are very strong. Sunrise and sunset are the recommended times to visit Silver Beach, especially the sunset view which is more enchanting.Taking Photos and Enjoying the Resort
The best times for taking photos and strolling around the resort are in the early morning, around four or five o’clock, as well as in the late afternoon, around the same time. The soft light during these hours is ideal for photography and reduces the risk of sunburn when swimming. If you’re looking to avoid crowds, starting your day early is recommended.
