This study focuses on the impact mechanism of the natural landscape of parks in tropical coastal areas on residents' physical activities. Taking Haikou Baishamen Park and its adjacent beach as a case study, it integrates methods such as on-site observation, in-depth interviews, and online text investigation to study the characteristics of residents' physical activities in typical natural landscape areas (beach, lake, lawn, grove, and stream). Based on the coding and analysis of textual data, this study reveals significant differences in the activity patterns of residents within different landscape types, and explores the promoting and restricting effects of various landscapes on physical activities and their internal mechanisms. The results clarify the site effect of different natural landscapes, and then put forward targeted suggestions for optimizing the landscape design of tropical coastal parks to improve the residents’ physical activity levels.
