Dadonghai Beach Sanya’s Family Friendly Tropical Escape.

BY KIRANGACHA MWANIKI.

THE COMMON PULSE.

While Sanya is filled with stunning stretches of coastline, Dadonghai Beach stands out as the most vibrant and accessible. Just a short drive from Sanya’s city center, this lively bay is the perfect introduction to Hainan’s tropical charm especially for families and first-time visitors.

With its gentle waves, golden sands, and buzzing boardwalk, Dadonghai is where convenience meets leisure.

A Beach Made for Everyone

Unlike some of Sanya’s more exclusive or remote bays, Dadonghai is wonderfully approachable. The waters are calm and shallow, making it ideal for children to splash safely while parents relax under swaying palms. For those looking for fun, the beach offers plenty of water sports from banana boats and jet skiing to snorkeling along coral reefs.

 Dining by the Shore

One of Dadonghai’s greatest perks is its lively boardwalk lined with cafés, seafood restaurants, and beach bars. You can feast on freshly grilled fish, sip coconut water straight from the shell, or sample Hainan’s signature chicken rice while enjoying views of the South China Sea.

Evenings bring the beach to life, with open-air dining, live music, and a festive atmosphere that makes it feel like a never-ending summer night.


 Shop & Stroll

Beyond food, the area is dotted with boutique shops, local markets, and convenience stores, making it easy for travelers to pick up beachwear, souvenirs, or tropical fruit for a picnic. It’s one of the few places in Sanya where you can swim in the morning, shop in the afternoon, and enjoy cocktails by sunset all without leaving the same stretch of coast.

Where to Stay

Dadonghai is home to a mix of family friendly hotels, mid range resorts, and boutique guesthouses. Unlike the ultra luxury resorts of Yalong Bay, here the accommodations cater to different budgets while keeping you steps away from the sand.



Why Choose Dadonghai?

  • Proximity  Just minutes from downtown Sanya.

  • Family friendly  Safe swimming and kid-friendly amenities.

  • Vibrant atmosphere Perfect for those who love a social, energetic beach.

  • Convenience  Everything from dining to shopping is within walking distance.


If Sanya is the jewel of Hainan, then Dadonghai Beach is its most accessible gem. With its lively vibe, endless dining options, and family friendly waters, it’s the perfect spot for travelers who want the best of both worlds: a tropical paradise with all the comforts of city life just steps away.

So whether you’re a family on holiday, a couple on a short escape, or a solo traveler dipping into island life, Dadonghai welcomes you with open arms and endless sunshine.

No Exit: Biya’s Return, Democracy’s Decline

By Kirangacha Mwaniki The Common Pulse | August 2025 At 92 years old, Cameroonian President Paul Biya has signaled his intention to run for yet another term in the 2025 presidential election. Having ruled since 1982, Biya is now the second-longest-serving head of state in the world;  after Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Obiang. His decision has sparked outrage, resignation, and confusion among Cameroonians, many of whom have never known another leader. This re-election bid is more than just a political event;  it is a glaring symptom of a system that has resisted reform, ignored generational change, and weaponized fear to maintain the status quo. The Man Who Time Forgot Paul Biya came to power before most Cameroonians were born. He has led through the Cold War, the rise of mobile phones, the internet revolution, and the African Continental Free Trade Area — all while aging behind the walls of Etoudi Palace. He is rarely seen in public, often ruling from abroad;  mostly Swit...
