Sea World is convenient for restaurants, evening walks, and access toward Shekou Cruise Home Port.

Sea World is one of the easier Shenzhen areas for international visitors to use in the evening. Restaurants are concentrated, walking is straightforward, and Shekou Cruise Home Port and Shenzhen Bay are in the same broader western direction.
Quick answer
For dinner, drinks, and evening walks, stay near Sea World.
For an early ferry or heavy luggage, check the transfer to Shekou Cruise Home Port rather than assuming Sea World is the terminal.
For Nanshan sightseeing and a relaxed hotel return, Shekou works well.
For the Futian CBD, stay in Futian; for the western theme parks, Overseas Chinese Town is closer.
Sea World area: the easiest all-round Shekou base
Choose this area when the evening matters as much as daytime sightseeing. It works for couples, families, longer stays, and business trips with downtime. Shekou Market and other local streets can be added, but do not label the whole area “Shekou Old Street.”

Sea World and Shekou Cruise Home Port are in the same broad area but not the same point. For an early sailing, children, or heavy luggage, compare the actual door-to-terminal journey.
For theme parks, stay around Overseas Chinese Town
Sea World is good for evenings, but it is not the closest base for Window of the World, Shenzhen Happy Valley, and Splendid China Folk Cultural Villages.
