Is summer a good time to travel to Beihai? Is August suitable for a trip here?

Beihai is suitable for travel in all seasons, except during the National Day holiday and typhoon periods.

If you visit in August, sun protection is a must. The fishing moratorium usually lasts into early August, so most seafood available then is farm-raised. The middle to late September is highly recommended if your schedule allows.

Overall, August is absolutely a viable choice. You can go swimming in the sea.

However, do check the weather forecast before your trip. It often rains for a whole week straight in July and August, with downpours starting at roughly the same time every day. Besides, it gets extremely hot during these two months, so please get well prepared.
