Yalong Bay is crescent-shaped, about 7 kilometers long. The beach has a gentle slope and fine white sand, and the water quality and visibility are among the best of the bays in Sanya. The bay was developed early, with high-end resorts lined up along the beach, and there are still a few public entrances.

The swimming areas have lifeguards and buoys, making it very suitable for families with children. The water is clearest in the morning, while wind and waves increase slightly in the afternoon.

Banana boats, jet skis, diving, and glass-bottom boats are all available in the bay, with negotiable prices. Activities may be suspended when waves are high.
