History and Culture
The Meisha region where Dameisha is situated has been a coastal fishing village in southeast Guangdong since ancient times. Local residents made a living from offshore fishing. The place‑names Dameisha and Xiaomeisha derive from the local sandy bay landforms.
Dameisha Coastal Park was officially completed and opened to the public in 1999. It quickly grew into a famous coastal leisure spot for Shenzhen citizens and tourists. Due to sustained huge visitor flow, multiple renovation projects have been carried out for facility upgrade and beach ecological protection. Starting from 2018, the scenic area rolled out the online real‑name reservation system to control passenger volume and secure tourist safety.
