Huizhou Sangzhou Island Snorkeling Paradise: A Sea Island You'll Want to Settle On

Who would have thought! Discovered a "Sea Emerald" in Huizhou 🌿 The seawater around Sangzhou Island is so clear you can see schools of small fish 🐠 Snorkeling, beachcombing, lounging on the sand... so much fun you won't want to leave! Here's a complete guide to help you unlock this treasure island👇 🚗 How to get there? Super detailed routes From other cities Fly or take the high-speed train to Huizhou Pingtan Airport or Huizhou South Station, then take a taxi to Gangkou Town, Huizhou County (about 1 hour drive). From Gangkou Town pier, take a boat to the island ⛴️ The boat ride is 15 minutes, and the sea breeze is super refreshing~ Self-driving from nearby Guangdong Navigate directly to Sangzhou Island Pier in Gangkou Town, Huizhou County 🚙 It takes 2-3 hours from Shenzhen or Guangzhou, with a beautiful coastal road all the way—perfect for road trip lovers! 🏝️ Treasure Island 2 Days 1 Night Itinerary Day 1: Arrive → Snorkeling → Relax on the beach ✅ Arrive: Take a speedboat from the pier to the island, feel the sea breeze, and see the blue-green seawater of Sangzhou Island from afar—just wow 😍 ✅ Snorkeling 🤿 Snorkeling gear is available for rent on the island (or bring your own). The water is crystal clear, with coral and schools of small fish swimming around, like opening a surprise box underwater! No need to worry if you can't swim; wearing a life jacket is super safe~ ✅ Beach lounging 🏖️ Find some shade, lay down a beach mat, enjoy the sea breeze and waves, and daydream until sunset 🌅 Every photo looks like a postcard! Day 2: Beachcombing → Island hiking → Return trip ✅ Beachcombing 🌊 Get up early and follow the tide schedule to the rocky area! Find little crabs, shells, small fish... a rewarding experience, like playing a real-life "Animal Crossing" 🦀 ✅ Island hiking 🌿 Walk around the island, see cliffs and reefs, dense vegetation, and discover super hidden photo spots with a 100% chance of great shots! ✅ Return: Take the boat back to Gangkou Town at noon, and enjoy a seafood feast in town 🦐 Only about 50 RMB per person to eat until full! 🏠 Where to stay? 2 great options Camp on the island For a wild island experience, choose the Sangzhou Island camping base ⛺️ Sleep in a tent listening to the waves, wake up to the sunrise 🌄 You can also join a bonfire party for a great atmosphere! (Remember to book in advance~) Stay in a guesthouse in Gangkou Town For comfort, choose a guesthouse in Gangkou Town. We recommend the Sea View Guesthouse 🌊 Open the window to the sea, prices range from 150-300 RMB per night. You can eat seafood and explore the fishing village just downstairs—convenient and cozy! 💡 Island Travel Tips ✅ Remember to bring a waterproof phone case for snorkeling 📱 Capture the underwater beauty for your social media! ✅ There are no shops on the island, so bring drinking water and snacks 🍪 Be eco-friendly and take your trash with you~ ✅ Don’t slack on sun protection! Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen—the island’s UV rays are strong 🌞 ✅ Beachcombing tools (small shovel, bucket) can be rented at the pier for 10-20 RMB per set, super convenient! Huizhou Sangzhou Island truly maximizes the "healing vibe" of an island 🌴 Fewer people than Sanya, snorkeling more affordable than Southeast Asia, and perfect for a weekend getaway! Promise me, don’t let this blue-green sea go to waste, okay? 💕
