The emblem for the Sixth Asian Beach Games consists of the shining sun, ocean elements, and the symbol of Hainan. Symbolising the fashion and openness of both Sanya city and beach games, the blue, green, yellow and orange colour blocks in the emblem are shaped into the number 6 to represent the sixth edition of the Asian Beach Games. In addition to the shining sun, which is also part of the OCA's emblem, coconut trees, sea waves, and other local natural elements are subtly incorporated to embody Sanya people's ecological civilisation concept of harmony between human and nature.

The deer in the emblem is an incarnation of freedom and rationality, mirroring the beauty and romance of Sanya as well as the openness, inclusiveness, revolution and innovation of the "deer city".
