Empress Bay is a small bay located at the southern end of Haitang Bay. It boasts clear seawater, pristine beaches, and numerous peculiar reefs and rocks. Although the beach is not large, it is a tranquil and untouched bay where visitors can enjoy fishing, barbecues, and diving, basking in the peacefulness away from the hustle and bustle. Empress Bay is a less popular destination among the many bays in Sanya, with most visitors coming on day tours arranged by local travel agencies, primarily for fishing and diving. Here, you can catch delicious seafood with your own hands, experiencing the thrill of fishing; you can also dive into the sea to closely interact with corals and schools of fish. The bay has intact and unspoiled coral reefs, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling.
The marine life and coral reefs in Empress Bay are abundant and relatively well-preserved. Therefore, for visitors planning to visit, please enjoy yourself while preserving the ecological balance of the area. Be cautious of unregulated agents, as there may be indiscriminate charges for diving. Do not trust small advertisements and flyers, and avoid being tempted by cheap offers. Particularly, be wary of underwater photography scams; if you wish to book, contact legitimate outdoor clubs in advance.

Opening hours: The bay is open all day, every day of the year.
