The scenic spots strolling through Silver Beach are concentrated in the middle of the beach. In addition to the beach park with the largest musical sculpture fountain in Asia, there are three land-connected Xianren Bridge and the unique Sanguan Pavilion.

2. When swimming, don't go to deep water areas and areas without lifeguards. Don't go too far offshore. Once the wind rises and ebbs, you should go ashore immediately.
3. Stay away from motorboats when swimming and pay attention to safety.
The seaside is sunny and "toxic". Skin desquamate easily after swimming. Take sunscreen skin care products and pay attention to protection.

Weizhou Island is a must-see attraction in Beihai.
Weizhou Island is the largest island in Guangxi and the largest extinct volcanic island in China. The island is known as the "Great Penglai" fairy island because of its stormy waves, deep caves, beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. The island is located 36 nautical miles southeast of Beihai Peninsula, surrounded by the sea, 65 kilometers long from north to south, 6 kilometers wide from east to west, with the highest elevation of 79 meters.
Volcanic island is rich in landscape resources, with volcanic lava landscape-Zhuziling; It fell into the sea like a "turtle bow and blue wisp"; Julian's long hanging "Drip Dan Screen" drip screen (south bank of Drip Village, formerly known as Dishuiyan. The upper part of the cliff is covered by trees, and water often overflows from the gap between the upper parts of the wall and drops down a little, such as hanging bamboo curtains); There are also many reef caves shaped like seals, dolphins and seahorses, which can be called animal seas, such as fairy caves, thief caves and sheep caves. In addition, the French Catholic Church in Tangsheng Village settled on the island at the end of 19. The building materials of the church are all taken from the corals and rocks on the island, and they are still as strong as ever after a hundred years. There is also the historical footprint of Sanlao Temple and Notre Dame, which proves the combination of Chinese and western cultures. In addition, there are various recreational facilities on the island, which is an excellent place for island exploration, sea fishing, shellfish bathing and diving exploration. Weizhou Island is also the best place to watch the sun's oblique panorama on Xieyang Island. Moreover, from Weizhou Island to Xieyang Island, you can also see strange and beautiful underwater ribbons.

Tips:
1. Taking a boat is the only way to Weizhou Island, and there are few flights. 1-2 will be added in the afternoon of peak season. You'd better buy a round-trip ticket in advance. Generally speaking, when the weather is fine, only the clippers can sail. In bad weather, the clippers can't move forward, so they have to rely on slow boats. If there is bad weather, ships will stop sailing, so you must pay attention to the weather when you go to the island.
2. Pay attention to the safety signs on board, the orientation of lifeboats and emergency doors, life jackets are generally under the seats, and plastic bags and drugs to prevent seasickness will be prepared on board.
The only way to get to Xieyang Island is to take a boat from Weizhou Island Pier. A speedboat carrying about 10 passengers takes about 500-600 yuan, and it takes half an hour to get there. The round-trip cost by fishing boat on the island is about two or three hundred yuan, about one hour. The average speedboat fishing boat can't exceed 10, so don't overload and wear life jackets.
Catering:
The island mainly eats seafood, and vegetables and meat are more expensive than seafood. I suggest you buy your favorite seafood in the vegetable market near the pier and ask the people in the food stalls to process it. The processing fee is very cheap, and the seafood is the freshest and cheapest when the fishermen unload the ship around 7 am. A few people may not be able to eat 200 yuan.
