广东省地级市,属于热带北缘季风气候，冬无严寒，夏无酷暑，亚热带作物及海产资源丰富,湛江位居粤、琼、桂三省（区）交汇处，是中国西南各省通往国外的主要出海口，亦是中国大陆通往东南亚、非洲、欧洲和大洋洲海上航道最短的重要口岸。
广东海洋大学，是广东省人民政府和自然资源部共建的省属重点建设大学，是一所以海洋和水产为特色、多学科协调发展的综合性大学，是教育部本科教学水平评估优秀院校，是具有“学士、硕士、博士”完整学位授权体系的大学，是广东省高水平大学重点学科建设高校。
金沙湾，位于广东省湛江市赤坎区东海岸，占地面积12.6万平方米。是国家AAAA级景区，有金沙湾观海长廊、海滨浴场，双子岛、水上运动中心等景点。无论白天还是夜晚，这里都成了人们赏景、散步、谈心、玩耍、锻练的一大去处，特别是节假日，金沙湾观海长廊更吸引了众多的市民，成为市民休闲的好去处。
湛江既有热带土壤基本类型，也有滨海地带土壤分布，共有赤红壤、砖红壤、滨海沙土、滨海盐渍沼泽土、滨海盐土、潮沙泥土、沼泽土、火山灰土、菜园土、水稻土等10个土类，以红壤居多，湛江因此有“红土地”之称。
湛江美食指湛江海产品，丰富闻名遐迩，其新鲜、质优、价廉，各农贸市场均有大量供应，在宾馆、酒店以至街边小食店均有大量海鲜菜式，因而，湛江是人们品尝海鲜、购买海产品的理想之地，近年来有"要吃海鲜到湛江"之说。常见的湛江美食有对虾、龙虾、螃蟹等。
