It is one of the five famous bays in Sanya, together with Yalong Bay, Dadonghai Bay, Sanya Bay, and Yazhou Bay.
The bay was listed as an independent group in the early urban development plan of Sanya. It aimed at building an ecological area with functions of international exchange, vacation, and sightseeing. Since the bay is a reserved land for future urban development, the resources and environment are in good condition.

The island holds the estuary of two rivers. It also has a unique water system with high development value. It is one of the islands that boast the most primitive natural landscape in Hainan.
A long time ago, villagers near Yezizhou Island caught no fish for four consecutive months although they worked hard. They were confused about that and turned to the local witch for help. The witch told them that the wife of the God of Sea who governed the surrounding sea area was dead, so the sad god cursed that area. Only if a beautiful maiden were sent to the god would the curse be removed, so that villagers could catch fish and shrimp again.
For the benefit of all villagers, all the unmarried girls in this area volunteered to sacrifice themselves. Therefore, it was decided that the witch would throw the betel nut and the girl who caught the betel nut would marry the God of Sea. Finally, the betel nut was caught by a girl named Haitang, but she had a lover called A Ming.
Haitang, however, resolutely bid farewell to her sweetheart and threw herself into the sea. Just on that night, A Ming also jumped into the sea with two stones. He fulfilled his promise of sharing life and death with his beloved girl, Haitang. On the day after Haitang sacrificed herself, people there could catch fish and shrimp again. Then the bay was named “Haitang Bay” in memory of the girl named Haitang.
It is advisable to visit Haitang Bay in spring, autumn, and winter (from September to next April). Haitang Bay is featured by the tropical monsoon climate, so the weather there is warm all year round, with an average temperature of 23.8 degrees centigrade. The temperature, however, will be much higher in summer.
Since there is no winter in the bay, it is especially a good choice to visit Haitang Bay from December to next February. Tourists can enjoy the warm sunshine, blue sea, and green coconut trees in the bay. It is a winter resort for visitors to spend cold days.
There are possible big waves in the sea. Please pay attention to the sea conditions before swimming in case of accidents. Safety is of paramount importance.
Take bus 33, 35, Haitang Bus 3, or Haitangwan Bus 1 and get off at Haitangwan Guangchang Station.
