Damisha Beach in China is known as the most crowded beach in the world, because at times around 200,000 people gather on this 1.8 km stretch of beach.

Damisha Beach, located in Shenzhen, Southeast China, is a popular and busy recreational area. This 1.8 km (1.1 mi) stretch of sandy beach turns into a sea of ​​people during the weekend holidays, forcing authorities to limit the number of people visiting the beach.

One has only to read the comments of disgruntled tourists on platforms like Trip Advisor to get an idea of ​​how crowded Damisha Beach can get during the summer months. Some of them complain that the place was so crowded with people that they could not even reach the water.

Because it is a public beach, in principle anyone can come here. However, in recent years Shenzhen authorities have limited the number of tourists to 80,000 per day from May to October to avoid overcrowding. A mandatory reservation system is in place for entry to the beach, meaning people must make a reservation before going to the beach on their scheduled date.

Although 80,000 people may seem like a lot, it is worth noting that on some occasions as many as two hundred thousand people have been on the beach at the same time. In such conditions, it is far from easy to sunbathe or swim there, even walking becomes very difficult.

One of the main factors that cause overcrowding at Damisha Beach is public transportation. There are several bus lines available to get there and most importantly, a metro station is located right in front of the beach. In addition, entry to the beach is free, making Damisha extremely popular with both locals and tourists.

Despite the negative reviews on TripAdvisor and other online platforms, Damisha Beach remains extremely popular during the summer months, with photos of the crowds often going viral on social media.
