2025Beachcombing in Xiamen|trip.com

Beachcombing in Xiamen is a popular way to escape the summer heat. The seasons for beachcombing in Xiamen are spring, summer and autumn. The weather is mild and the tide changes significantly, making it easy to find all kinds of seafood. Early in the morning or in the evening when the tide recedes is a good time to beachcombing, when the creatures on the beach are more active and the harvest is richer. Beachcombing is not only a journey to get close to nature, but also an ideal place to enjoy the sea view, feel the sea breeze, play with the whole family, and take the kids out. It is also a unique cultural experience.

Beach Foraging Fun: Barefoot on damp flats, feel cool sea mud oozing between toes. Turn stones to find scuttling hermit crabs, catch pincer-waving crabs in rocky crevices, where every bend brings delightful encounters with marine life.

Forage & Sail: After morning mudflat adventures, board sailboats for coastal sightseeing. View the shoreline from sea level, feeling ocean breezes aboard swaying vessels - enjoying both intertidal zones and open waters in a single day.

Fisherman Experience: Learn traditional fishing skills from local fishermen, participating in net-casting and trap-hauling. Identify various marine species under guidance while understanding tidal patterns, with the option to cook and savor your fresh catch.
