01
Why visit Yantian Seaside Boardwalk
The boardwalk gives first-time visitors a real sea walk while staying closer to the urban rail network than Dapeng. Its length, however, turns an unplanned stroll into a difficult return.
Several kilometres along the exposed coast can feel very different in summer heat or rain. Choose a shorter section with a clear exit when conditions are uncomfortable, and follow any closures.

How to visit
- 01
For a short urban walk, leave Haishan station at Exit B and navigate to the Lighthouse Library waterfront on Haijing 2nd Road.
- 02
Walk along the open waterfront, then retrace your way to Haishan station when you have had enough. The library exterior is a landmark; entering the library has separate rules.
- 03
For sand and cliff-side coastal views, use Dameisha station instead, visit the seaside park and add only an open nearby path section before returning to that station.
What fits nearby
- 01
Dameisha for a sand-and-swim alternative, not an automatic extension
- 02
One Yantian meal near the chosen exit
Two short outings
Haishan for an easy waterfront walk; Dameisha for the beach
Choose Haishan when you want a short sea-view walk with an easy return to the same station. Lighthouse Library is at 1019 Haijing 2nd Road. Walk toward the water from Haishan Exit B, use the exterior as your landmark and turn back whenever the heat or distance becomes uncomfortable. Allow about 1.5 to 2 hours including the return walk.
Choose Dameisha when you want the beach as well as a coastal path. Start and finish at Dameisha station, visit the seaside park and extend only onto an adjacent section that is open that day. Allow about 2 to 3 hours, and turn back before tiring. This is not a recommendation to walk from Haishan to Dameisha or complete the 19.5-kilometre system.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long is Yantian Seaside Boardwalk?
The official system is about 19.5 kilometres. Most visitors should choose one segment rather than attempt the entire route.
Can I swim from the boardwalk?
Treat the route as a walk. Swim only at a separately managed bathing area when current signs and safety staff explicitly permit it.
Is Yantian Boardwalk the same as Dameisha?
No. Dameisha is one beach destination along the wider Yantian coast. The boardwalk system links several different coastal sections.
