[2025 Shenzhen Attraction] Travel Guide for Egong Bay (Updated Apr)

Hey everyone, I've discovered a hidden gem 😭! Shenzhen has such a beautiful free beach, it's the perfect summer spot for swimming and enjoying the sea! As soon as you arrive, you'll see wooden boardwalks, paddleboards, swings, palm trees, and cozy cabins—it feels like you're on an overseas vacation! The crystal-clear sea is breathtaking even without filters. At the end of the boardwalk, you can spot white and pink jellyfish with the naked eye, along with schools of small fish 🐟. The water is so clear and pristine, it's truly amazing! The sand is fine and soft, making it super comfortable to walk barefoot. You'll want to stay here all day during summer! 🧭 Directions: Shenzhen E Gong Bay 🎫 Admission: Free 🅿️ Parking: First hour costs 20 RMB, then 5 RMB for each additional hour. It's convenient to take a taxi here, but getting one for the return trip might be tricky, so driving yourself is recommended. 🌟 Tips: 1⃣️ This is a newly opened beach with a small area, so it's not crowded, offering a peaceful experience. 2⃣️ The road leading to the beach includes about 10 km of mountain roads, which are narrow, so drive carefully. 3⃣️ There are hotels and restaurants nearby, but the restaurant wasn't open when I visited. Facilities include restrooms, but the shower area is still under construction.

The coastline of Egong Bay, located in Nan'ao, Shenzhen, creates a circular path which allows you to loop around mountain roads and highways. All along the way, you'll be met with gorgeous views. While the first half of road is flat and easy to walk on, the second half is more precarious, especially when you climb down from a steep cliff into two marine trenches. Nevertheless, it's a great place to experience adventure and beauty at once.
