The invention provides a method for quickly building a dyke on a coral island, and belongs to coastal engineering building construction technologies. The method comprises the steps of terrain reconnaissance, site selection and positioning, foundation treatment, dyke building, sinking and moving observation and operation maintaining. The method for quickly building the dyke on the coral island is characterized by comprising the steps that a foundation is flattened, a canal is dug for irrigation, a gate wharf is mounted in a prefabricated mode, a dyke fixing component is mounted, hydraulic reclamation and pouring are conducted, a river is dug for protecting the dyke, and plants are planted on the inner side of an outer side revetment. The method for quickly building the dyke on the coral island has the advantages of adjusting measures to local conditions, drawing on local resources, and being high in speed, good in quality and high in efficiency. Positive significance is achieved on the aspects of improving dyke quality, improving building speed, improving safety and stability of the dyke and governing the environment.
