Complete Guide to Hiking the Shenzhen Coastal Boardwalk|A Healing Sea-Viewing Route Even Beginners Can Easily Handle

Don’t stay home this weekend! The weather in Shenzhen has been unbelievably good lately, with the blue sky turning the sea into a gradient of colors. I quickly invited some friends to walk the coastal boardwalk from Dameisha to Xiaomeisha. After the whole walk, I only regretted not bringing an extra dress for photos — this beginner-friendly guide even includes route details and tips to avoid pitfalls, so save it and go enjoy the sea! The moment you exit from Exit A of Dameisha Metro Station, you can smell the salty moisture in the sea breeze. But note, it’s a 3-kilometer walk along Yanmei Road from the metro station to the boardwalk entrance. I strolled slowly, admiring the coconut trees and passing cyclists, and it took about an hour—completely not tiring. Once you step onto the Dameisha Coastal Boardwalk, your view is instantly “captivated” — the white boardwalk stretches along the coastline, with waves crashing against the rocks on the left, splashing fine white foam; on the right, the nearshore water is a clear emerald green, turning into sparkling sapphire blue in the distance. I casually took a side-profile photo with my phone, and without any filters, it looked like a movie still. My friends kept saying, “If only I had worn a sundress!” The entire route is about 7-8 kilometers. We walked leisurely, stopping at scenic sea-view platforms to enjoy the breeze, and bought fresh coconuts from street vendors to quench our thirst. It took just over 3 hours, very beginner-friendly with no pressure of “not being able to walk anymore.” When we reached the Xiaomeisha section, the water was even clearer, with small stones visible underwater. At dusk, the sunset dyed the sea orange-red, and at that moment, it felt like all worries were carried away by the sea breeze. However, two small details to remind you: first, the last section from the boardwalk to Xiaomeisha Metro Station is under construction, so there’s more dust—remember to bring a mask in advance; second, the seaside sun is very strong on sunny days. I didn’t apply enough sunscreen that day and found my neck sunburned when I got home, so be sure to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen! After finishing this boardwalk walk, my biggest feeling was: healing can be this simple — stepping on the boardwalk listening to the waves, watching the sea change from green to blue, occasionally seeing seabirds fly overhead, and even your footsteps naturally slow down. Do you like going outdoors on weekends? If you’re worried about finding the route, I can help organize the specific walking navigation points into a list, so you won’t get lost following it.
