PLACE GUIDE

Shimei Bay 石梅湾

Shimei Wan

Shimei Bay combines a broad sandy coast with a surviving belt of green-bark forest, giving it a softer, more wooded setting than many developed resort beaches.

About Shimei Bay

It suits a beach walk, a café stop and time looking out over the bay. The coastal bookstore adds a recognisable cultural stop without requiring a full resort stay. Use public paths and designated visitor areas around the protected woodland rather than treating the forest behind the beach as unrestricted access.

What to look for

  • The meeting of pale sand, sea and coastal green-bark forest.
  • The seaside bookstore and public coastal leisure areas.

The surrounding area

East-coast base combining Riyue Bay with Xinglong coffee culture; these are different local areas.
