First decide between an urban waterfront and a beach holiday.
Area choiceSeaside stay

“Seaside hotel” can mean an urban bayfront room or a beach holiday. Shenzhen Bay, Shekou, Yantian, and Dapeng offer different experiences and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Quick answer
For an urban waterfront walk, choose Shenzhen Bay, Houhai, or Shekou.
For beaches and a holiday atmosphere, choose Yantian, Dameisha, or Dapeng.
For a first one-night visit, staying in eastern Shenzhen may be inefficient.
For a slow coastal trip, give Dapeng a full day and preferably one night.
Shenzhen Bay and Houhai: urban waterfront
This area offers shoreline paths, skyline views, parks, shopping, and dining. It is not a sandy-beach resort. Check the actual room orientation and walking route before paying for a “bay view.”

Final advice
Choose Shenzhen Bay or Shekou for an urban waterfront, and Yantian or Dapeng for a beach-oriented stay. With limited time on a first trip, do not add a distant eastern hotel unless the coast is the main purpose.
