Colorful Beach is located on the east coast of Weizhou Island. Here, there is no pure white sandy beach. Instead, there are black sands ground from shells and volcanic rocks. It is also called Sesame Beach because it resembles sesame. Here, you can see rare geological landscapes of marine erosion cliffs, marine erosion platforms, and marine erosion caves in China. Compared with the volcanic landscape of Crocodile Mountain, this place is even more shocking. The 1.5-kilometer-long coast in the Colorful Beach scenic area is covered with marine erosion cliffs 20 to 50 meters high. The cliff faces stand towering, presenting a magnificent sight. Walking down to the beach from the entrance and not far to the left is the huge marine erosion platform on the island. These platforms spread out in front of the marine erosion cliffs, flat and wide. When the tide is out, the platform can be up to hundreds of meters wide, which is very spectacular. It is recommended to visit Colorful Beach when the tide is out. Only at this time can you see these magical geological landscapes. You can pay attention to the sea erosion gullies on the platform. These sea erosion gullies cannot be seen when the tide is rising. The moss and seawater on the platform are colorful and very beautiful under the illumination of the morning sun. Most people will choose to take pictures and keep souvenirs to record these beautiful moments. At the junction of the marine erosion cliff and the marine erosion platform, marine erosion caves of various shapes can be seen everywhere. But when the tide is rising, you can only see a few stones on the side. It should be noted that the stones at Colorful Beach are very slippery. Be sure to be careful not to fall. After enjoying the beautiful scenery, don’t forget to eat barbecue by the sea. There are a rich variety here, including scallops, oysters, abalones, etc. The key is that the price is cheap and extremely delicious. In addition, Colorful Beach is the place to watch the sunrise over the sea on Weizhou Island. However, due to the large climate change on the island, the proportion of seeing the sunrise is less than one-tenth. Especially in autumn and winter, when the island is foggy, it is even more difficult to see the moment when the sun jumps out of the sea. Even so, many tourists still arrive here in advance according to the forecast time of the sunrise, expecting the arrival of the goddess of luck. The opening hours are from 08:00 to 18:00 all year round.
