The seawater bathing beach is open all year round, and there is no charge for swimming. Generally, it is more suitable to swim from July to September, but it can be very crowded. 2. The beach sand is relatively coarse with small pebbles, which can be uncomfortable for walking barefoot, but the swimming area’s sand is acceptable with shark nets. 3. There are some sea trenches at the beach, so be cautious not to swim too far from the shore and be aware that the tide starts to rise in the afternoon. 4. The beach offers activities such as speedboats and water scooters, but they are relatively expensive and time-limited; if you wish to participate, try to negotiate a better price.Qingdao’s First Seawater Bathing Beach
