Located next to Haitan Bay in Pingtan, Fujian province, Longfengtou Beach is the largest natural bathing beach in China. It is 500 meters in width and 9.5 kilometers in length, covering an area of 21 hectares in total.

The pristine white sandy beach is flanked by a thick coastal oak forest on one side, and water clear enough to see the seabed in on the other. The flat beach is also an ideal place for a variety of beach sports including beach volleyball and frisbee throwing.

Facing east, Longfengtou is also a wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of the sunrise over the sea.

Tourists are drawn to the beach each summer to see the Cross-Straits Sand Sculpture Festival and Kiteboard Tour Asia.
