Which beach is the most beautiful in Xiamen?

The most beautiful thing in Xiamen is Huangcuo Beach.

Huangcuotan is located in the southeast coast, with a length of 4.2km from east to west, 4.6km from Xiaojinmen in the east and 4km from Dadan and Xiao Dan in the south. Close to the universities in Xiamen, it is the ribbon-like beauty that connects the beach mouth to hold the world-famous international marathon here.

It is a relatively quiet beach, with important scenic spots such as Yefengzhai, Gulangyu Island, International Convention and Exhibition Center, Guanyin Mountain, Wuyuan Bay, Hu Lishan Fort, Xiamen University, Nanputuo Temple and Shiwan Botanical Garden nearby.

According to Xiamen Marine Environment Forecasting Station, this is the best place for swimming in Xiamen. In addition, Huangcuo and Taiyangwan baths are the farthest from the estuary of Jiulong River, with less pollution, so the water quality is better.

Characteristics of Bioreefs in Huangcuo Beach

There are two natural reefs on the coastline near Fort Hu Lishan, and their positions have certain influence on the current there. Influenced by the coastal topography and the existence of reefs, the water flow in Baicheng bathing beach is complicated.

For example, at low tide, the seawater in the mainstream area flows from north to south to Baicheng sea area; Affected by the protruding part of Huli Mountain, the nearshore current turns from south to north. The coastal and outer currents are inconsistent and in opposite directions, forming topographic circulation.

Anti-clockwise vortex is produced in reef area, especially from semi-tidal to high tide, with fast speed and great vortex change. Many foreign tourists don't understand the terrain and current characteristics here.

There are at least 2-3 drowning accidents here every year. September 20 10, a freshman of Xiamen university drowned here for saving people. Previously, there was a placard on the top of a big stone, which read "Swimming is forbidden due to the fast tide", but it was damaged by the wind and waves when the catfish hit on 20 10.
