Location & How to Get There

Golden Coast sits in Yantian, a coastal gem in Shenzhen’s eastern suburbs. It’s tucked beside Yantian Seafood Street, about a 30-minute metro ride from downtown. To reach it:

  • Metro: Take Line 8 to “Yantian Port” station, then walk 15 minutes or grab a quick taxi.
  • Bus: Routes 103 or J1 drop you right near the beach.
  • Car: Drive along Binhai Boulevard for ocean views—parking is free but fills up fast on weekends!

Natural Scenery: Beach Vibes & Ocean Views

Golden Coast lives up to its name with soft, sun-kissed sand and turquoise waters. The beach stretches for miles, framed by low hills and skyscrapers in the distance. Mornings here are magical—watch the sunrise paint the sea pink, or spot fishermen hauling nets. On clear days, you can even see the distant outline of Hong Kong’s peaks. Bring snorkel gear to explore rocky tidal pools, or just relax under palm trees.

Culture & Local Flavors

Right next to Golden Coast lies Yantian Seafood Street, a foodie paradise. Try grilled oysters, spicy crab, or stir-fied clams at lively outdoor stalls. By night, the street buzzes with lanterns and the scent of saltwater. For a deeper dive, visit nearby Yantian Historical Museum (5-minute walk) to learn about the area’s fishing roots—though the exhibits are mostly text-heavy, the old boat models are cool.

Amenities: Comfort Without Fuss

Golden Coast keeps it simple but practical:

  • Rentals: Umbrellas (¥50/day), kayaks (¥30/hour), and beach chairs (free!) are available.
  • Showers: Clean-up stations with hot water cost ¥10.
  • Eats: Besides seafood, there’s a string of snack stands selling ice cream, coconut juice, and BBQ skewers.
  • Safety: Lifeguards patrol during peak hours, and signswarn about jellyfish seasons.

Things to Do: From Sunrise to Sunset

  • Morning: Join locals jogging along the promenade or collect shells with kids.
  • Afternoon: Swim in calm shallows or hike the nearby Yantian Low Mountain Trail (easy, 2km loop) for bird’s-eye views.
  • Evening: Watch vendors light up the seafood street, or snap photos of Golden Coast’s lights reflected on the water.

Pro tip: Weekdays are peaceful, while weekends buzz with families and picnickers. Avoid summer afternoons (it gets hot!).
