Da Meisha Beach (大梅沙海滨公园)

Da Meisha (大梅沙) is Shenzhen's longest sandy beach at 1.8km, situated in Yantian District on the eastern side of the city. It is free to enter (unlike the adjacent Xiaomeisha) and is popular with local families for its spacious picnic areas, beach volleyball courts, and calm shallow water suitable for small children. Surfboard and kayak hire is available from CNY 80-150/hour. Xiaohongshu users consistently recommend it for October-November visits when the water is still warm but crowds thin dramatically. The hillside coastal path at the eastern end offers excellent views towards Dapeng Peninsula and is a popular sunset photography spot. Metro Line 8 (Dameisha Station) direct from central Shenzhen.
