The 50 best beaches in and around Hong Kong

Very pleasant beach. I went late afternoon so there was plenty of shadow provided by the mountains behind as it's exposed eastward. Relatively easy to reach from town with the bus as well.

Wanted to take bus 9 to hike dragon's peak but missed the stop and ended up here. Pleasantly surprised to find a clean and beautiful beach at the end of the ride! There was a lack of options for food though. Mostly closed on a weekday. No HK food either - some piazza or Thai food only. Since >80% of the beach goers were westerners the food choices were probably catered to their tastes

As someone who grew up by the Caribbean, I have very high standards for beaches and I can say Shek O Beach really impressed me. It's a lovely beach with soft, white sand, clear water, and very clean. The prices for the chairs and umbrella vary, we paid HK$200 for an umbrella and 2 chairs but then noticed a cafe with cheaper prices, so you may want to shop around. Good facilities near the beach including bathrooms and showers and restaurants nearby (although we found some of these eateries quite expensive).

Shek O Beach is a lovely spot with soft sand and beautiful views, but keep in mind it’s a small beach and can get quite crowded. If you plan to rent chairs and an umbrella, make sure to bargain – I got 2 chairs and 1 umbrella for HKD 100 for the whole day. There aren’t too many food options around, so it’s best to bring your own snacks and drinks. 🚍 Getting there from Central is very convenient: take the MTR to Shau Kei Wan Station (Exit A3), then transfer to bus No. 9 to Shek O. The ride is scenic and takes about 30–40 minutes from Shau Kei Wan.

A secluded beach just half an hour ride on the MTR and Bus from the vibrant city center. Another side of Hong Kong that very few tourists visit.

One of my favorite beaches to take visitors to. Very easy to get there in a car or by public transport. A great choice of food as well, from Thai, Italian, BBQ, western and local dishes. The ladies that rent umbrellas and deck chairs are also always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place for is beauty and the sense of peace you get from the laid back feel.

There’s a great restaurant on the beach. The name is Cococabana. Thanks. I have lots of fresh seafood, and the staff are friendly with beautiful sea views , it’s delicious Mediterranean food

Very nice beach with unique combination of natural beauties and presence of civilization in same time. I love view from the beach, animals which freely gathering and resting where they want to, and few little river streams any actually few other things. The connection with the next beach via a little path throughout forest with nice pavilion is amazing. The restaurants and shops are of primitive sortiment and mostly in very simple style - lacking creativity/originalit, but many individuals will be OK with the options and arrangements they offer. The beach has public toilets (+showers) and easy access to the nearby road with bus stops. Upon my visit in April 2025 it was pretty clean and peaceful. Not sure how it works for camping but the sea view is towards South so during hotter months it won't be probably very pleasant camping location (but depends on current weather etc.)

The cheung sha beach is really great to come with family and friends. It's super beautiful to have the ocean and mountain view at the same time. Some down side are that there's not a ton of spots with shade. It could get crowded during the weekends or holidays. The changing rooms also have a lot of mosquitoes but it's been this way since forever. I got bit twice during the first 5 minutes inside. Coming here on a weekday is perfect when there's less people. The showers and changing rooms are kept really clean.

This beach is really good in terms of spending some quality time and enjoy no disturbance at all. Better to take your food and drinks with you as this beach is quiet and you want get much options nearby. A good place to spend your leisure day with family and friends.

It's Chinese name says it all,, Cheung Sha stands for long beach, and its one of the longest beaches in HK. Practically the beach is divided into 2 parts, the lower beach is on the eastern side and the upper beach is about 200 m away on the west. If you have to choose from these 2, always pick this one, the lower beach, as it's cleaner and more ergonomic in terms of amenity.

On Sept 15, 2022, I made an abrupt decision to come here to swim. Apart from good facilities and lifeguard service, the sand and water are fine. It left me a lasting impression.

accessible short trip beach if you live in the tung chung area. the spot is a surf space and you'd see shops where you can rent long boards, SUPs and kayaks and more. there is enough restos (and coffee) but you can also bring food picnic style. public bathroom also was clean and accessible. there's just a lot of animal poop around so be sure to pick a spot.

Very nice beach, low tide is enjoyable with a large beach. Good clear waters and two restaurants on the beach.

Soft sandy beach in Lantau with good amenities. But water isn’t as clean/clear - there was trash in the water and on the beach as waves swept them up the shore. It’s quite easy to get to the beach. You can take bus no.1/2/3M/4 from many places in Lantau, then it’s just a few minutes walk from the bus stop. There were cows around but they were just there to chill so there’s nothing to worry about. Only that the beach isn’t a pet friendly beach, so beware if you want to bring your pet friends there!

Location-wise, it's somewhere between silvermine and Cheung Sha beach. It's neither big nor having a spectacular view, so I rate it 3 stars only.

We take bus 3M from Tung Chung station and alighted at Lo Uk Tsuen. We cross the road and behind the Pui O Public School is the way to Pui O beach just walk straight from Chi Ma Wan road .

A beautiful and comfort beach! Have toilet and washing facilities, have bbq place, and small sell shop.

A beautiful, peaceful place to spend the day. Easy to reach from Mui Wo. A kiosk at the beach sells drinks and snacks. Water quality variable, but generally fine for swimming.

The place is so peaceful and relaxing there is also a campsite and bbq area where you can enjoy or bonding with your family or friends and it's also safe for the kids to swim there😊😊

Large beach with sand and clean waters. There is also a beach bar and a store that you can buy snacks, sodas etc. You can moreover find a campsite and bbq space. An amazing fact is that there a buffalos walking on the beach, but pay attention and don't approach them as they may become really aggressive!

Beautiful bay on the east side of the Sai Kung East Country Park for boating and beach activities. Boat rides or hikes from the Sai Wan Pavilion (2.2 km) or by way of the MacLehose Trail Stage 2 (6.6 km from the trailhead).

Nice easy hike with great views. Word of warning, the public toilets are not the best maintained. Might not be the norm.

HK's best most epic beach. Though shame campers/tour groups are littering.

Awesome beach tucked away from the usual spots - there's nothing on this beach apart from great views, great sand and tranquility. You'll need a car to get there (unless you walk), park up in the small lot and then walk 5 mins to the beach

It is a bit difficult to reach but it is a good site for water skiing.

Tranquil mountains and beaches. Best for nature lovers

This is one of the most pristine part of Hong Kong where you get to see the South China Sea, and away from all the hustle and bustle of typical life in Hong Kong.

On Oct 7, 2022, I came here for the first time. Except for the suspension of lifeguard services, here was like heaven on earth. The water was clear and there were just two other swimmers. Then, as the only swimmer, I had long sunbathing on the floating platform. And from there, I checked the shark net at the outer limit of the swimming area and found no giant hole.

A beautiful beach, perhaps one of the most naturally beautiful in Hong Kong!

Turtle Cove Accessible from Chaiwan in min bus or Number 14 bus from Grand Promenade at Sai Wan Ho. It is a small beach and extreme quiet. A Great view of the open ocean sky and mountains at the back. Good for swimming and gives a feeling of a private beach. The set back is one has to walk about 150M down from the main road Tai Tam Road near Red Hill . By the same token, when one reaches back up to the main road one has the choice to the trails of Tai Tam Reservoir at south Entrance or the Tai Tam Bay pier. Worthy of spending half of a day here. Written on 24 June-2022

One of the cleanest beaches I've ever been to in HK. The water so clear you can actually see small fishes, crabs, clams. Great for kids, sands so fine. And shaded area (whole day!) if you didnt bring any tent. Life guard services and shower /changing room is also provided. Easiest way to get here is get on bus #14 from Sai wan ho station(exit A).

Nice small quiet clean beach. Good clean shower and change room. After Typhoon Mangkhut, the barbeque area is damaged still in Oct 2018. Bus#14 (from Stanley or from San Wan Ho) has a bus stop right at the beach where you can take about 300 steps down to the beach. Note the beach faces South, so no sun after 4pm.

Small and quite beach. It has all the facilities as other beaches un Hong Kong (bathroom, showers) You have to go down several stairs to enter the beach and there is nothing to buy something to drink or eat on the beach so i recommend to buy before coming down. There is a mall with a welcome just two blocks from the entrance.

This beach is so dirty, and the water smells. Trash floating in the ocean. Wouldn't recommend, at least in the summer.

A small, but beautiful beach. Sand is fine and water is clear. Always beautiful sunshine at summer time.

What's nice about Stanley beach is that it's free to access for everyone. The main swimming season is from April to October. What I don't like is that the sand isn't really fine and the toilets as well as shower rooms need to be renovated. The water fountains were also broken when I visited.

Went on an overcast day so I think it might be better another time. Waves are tiny and there's lots of seaweed... nothing too exciting.

The beach itself is nothing special. Even quite ugly for a beach.. But it's the one place to see the international Dragon Boat Race and it's fun.

Best spot for beach outing, its very popular beach among locals and tourists. Beach is well maintained and clean, we can see nearby shops as well to purchase any souvenir and gifts. Toilets and shower facilities are also available

Fantastic place to chill, not a lot of people, great old Hong Kong atmosphere. Walk around the stress and you'll find amazing villas and apartments.

Lacking liveliness and some street side shops are closed. Used to be more lively. Still some decent restaurants for a drink or bite.

Big Wave Bay This is at the very Eastern end of the HK island. It faces the Tathong Point on a small isolated island called Tung Lun Island. It is a popular swimming beach during summer and has designated areas for picnic and barbecue. Many parking places are available. The most attractive part for me is the sunrise and sunset scenes. Pictures will be shown as attached. Written on April 21st, 2025.

Lovely sand, good rock area, fine cafes and amenities, showers and toilets. The water can deteriorate in the later part of the year but it is a great spot to relax and enjoy life.

Cozy beach, small but well equipped with changing rooms, showers and toilets

my first real getaway from HK’s concrete jungle! just a short hike from Chai Wan. If you’re new to HK, it’s a lovely first hike to start with and get a feel for the city’s hiking scene.

Frequent double deck bus and minibus from ShauKiWan and to TaiO(similar beach not far) Not crowded even on summer weekends. Can be as calm as flat water if no wind or milder westerly, but good for lower level surfing if there is easterly wind. Umbrella and old surfing boards are cheap to rent. Don’t miss the prehistoric rock art up the trail at left end of the beach.

Quite a joyous experience. Tho one thing I didnt like was some rando with an octopus hat on his head harassing me. He keeps yapping about brains or whatever, but I hope he's alright.

Nice secluded beach, not too busy. Popular with surfers, There are toilets and shower facilities plus a few eateries/shops near by. I stopped off after walking the Dragons Back, I then walked about 15 mins to the main bus stop on the road out of Shek O. There is a mini bus from the carpark but it was full.

If you have to walk at least 30 min from the pier and through ups and downs narrow path (part of them are dirt road), the beach at the other end won't be popular. LSS beach is exactly like that. I came here the second time, this time in non-bathing season. As expected, there was not a swimmer in sight. In fact, after a couple typhoons hit in the past few days, the water, along with the beach, was dirty (as pictured).

Calm beach, gentle warm water, highly drained so easy to float, no waves. Good showers but no other facilities Unusual jungle trail to get too the sand

Yung Shui Wan is getting crowded. The trail from Hung Shing Wan to Sok Kwu is still nice and quit.

Very nice little beach away from the Big skyscrapers og Hong kong. You have it mostly to yourself and there are free changing rooms you can use.

On 30 August, 2023, I came to this nice beach again to check if there was any lifeguard service in August. I saw none. As a result, I only swam in the shallow water area and made use of its underused facilities.

Loved the peaceful vibes at this beach!

The beach was gazetted by the Hong Kong Government and opened in 1972. In June and August 2015, the beach had to be temporarily closed due to oil pollution at the sea that caused the public not to swim at the beach.[3][4] The beach had to be temporarily closed in August 2017 also due to oil pollution. Hidden down a set of tree-fringed stairs on the west coast of Lamma Island, this long stretch of sand is far enough away from civilization to curb the crowds, yet still has basic services Lo So Shing Beach Give us the wide-angle view: what kind of beach are we talking about? Hidden down a set of tree-fringed stairs on the west coast of Lamma Island, this long stretch of sand is far enough away from civilization to curb the crowds, yet still has basic services such as lifeguards and bathrooms. Lovely. How accessible is it? If you take a 15-minute detour from the Family Trail (heading west from the hilltop pavilion), just can follow the signs to reach this relatively empty beach. As Lamma is a car-free island, you'll have to make your way there on foot. Once you arrive, there’s nothing stopping you from jumping into the waves. Got it. Decent services and facilities, would you say? On the walk down to the forest-backed beach, you’ll pass by a few vendors along the path hawking basics like water, beer and sunscreen. We’d recommend stopping to purchase a few things before heading to the water, as there’s not much in the way of restaurants or bars on this isolated strip. That said, you will find a bathroom, showers, lifeguards (during set hours), barbecue pits, and a few vendors renting out paddle boards and rafts. How’s the actual beach stuff—sand and surf? Lo So Shing Beach is one of Hong Kong’s cleanest beaches, regularly achieving the highest rating from the city’s Environmental Protection Department. Set off from the rest of the ocean by a shark net, there’s a fairly confined area for swimming, but you can get a workout doing some laps around the circumference. The main drawback here is that the water can feel bath-water warm in the summer. Excellent. Can we go barefoot? Aside from a few clusters of rocks on either end, the beach promises radiant gold sand. You might feel a few pebbles and seaweed under foot, especially when you wade out a bit farther into the water. Visit on a weekday and you could very likely could have the entire place to yourself. Anything special we should look for? We’d recommend steering clear of the beach for about three days after a heavy rainstorm, as the wind tends to wash up trash onto the sand. If we’re thinking about going, what—and who—is this beach best for? Just far enough away from the main village, Lo So Shing Beach is usually a near-empty cove with convenient facilities and a few low-intensity water sports.

I saw my master here. He ignite the fire inside me, give me back the strength to train again. The beach is so beautiful, i run and swim and sun bath a lot. Feel so young and strong. Thank you 🙏

One of the famous beach in Homg Kong Lots of people during Saturday and weekend Sand and water normally in good condition compare to other beach in Hong Kong Have toilet shower and changing room nearby There is a shopping mall nearby with lots of bars and restaurants which you can chill there. Also there is some shop selling water sport equipment etc. Public car parking space nearby but there is many cars during Saturday and weekend. May need some time for finding car parking space There is also Public transport connect to the city which is easy to travel

Sandy beach within easy reach of Admiralty. Now with a small retail area containing trendy beach facing cafes. October sea temperature was indeed warm. Free shower facilities on the beach. Some trees on and around the beach for shade. Designated and netted off swim area for beach goers. Don't forget to take a look at the temple and statues at the end of the beach.

Beautiful beach to visit. It was very busy and fun on Sunday. At the end of the beach is the Tin Hau Temple. It was spiritual uplifting and a great visit. The only sad part is seeing some litter in the water by the temple. The good was just seeing people fishing, seeding the view of the water with the islands from afar, the community of aunties singing karaoke, and hanging out on the beach. The weather was nice when we went and there was a nice 7 eleven to get water and some stores.

On 8 Oct, 2025, I swam here again. I checked out all the five round floating platforms within the swimming area. Swimmers and sunbathers spoke different languages.

Beautiful place to spend some quality time with friends and family.not so far there are places that you can eat or buy something to drink. Do a great way to spend our weekend or even longer.

Lovely place, not too busy either, great places to eat right on the beach, lots of sand space and very clean, definitely worth a visit.

Big wave beach, famous beach for surfers. Another great venue for wedding

Beautiful even though under total lockdown this Monday December 28

A little bit big wave

Not just beech but also one of starting point of hike to reach dragon back tail

Very nice beach

You will understand the reason for the name when you get here.

Big wave small beach!

Beautiful beach on the east side. It has a nice boardwalk and access to the beach. Colorful wall art really makes this place very quaint.

Tung Wan in Dec is quiet, cool (or chilling, depending if there is a cold front from the north hitting HK) and relaxing. The day I went there it had a water temp of 20 deg C and ambient temp 16. That is, it's actually warmer to submerge in the water than walking on the beach. Like most beaches in HK, water quality in winter is very nice

Beach is clean with several life guards on duty. Peaceful and nice to relax

Visited this island after 20 years and boy it has changed a lot. The beach though is still beautiful. I guess its one of the finest beach in HK. Bit crowded in holidays but thats expected.

The beach, located quite close to the ferry pier looks spectacular, with many classical old buildings nearby! Take the boat from Central to get here!

Its a nice clean beach recommend for families, friends & kids. The beach is clean ,got lifeguard,and the shark net's too.. its safe.. the view is cool you can see the LAMMA ISLAND and so much more.. good for snorkeling, kayaks etc.. have fun..

On Sept 21, 2022, I came here for the first time. Noting the lifeguard service, I swam to all the three floating platforms. The water wasn’t calm but I could cope. Other swimmers facilities were available.

Pros: Excellent water quality: fine sand; nice scenery. Cons: Lots of jagged reefs and rock lying at the bottom that makes walking near the shore like navigating through a minefield (it's especially problematic during the low tide); the shower facilities are highly inadequate (only 4 shower heads are available) and the water pressure is next nothing; the beach is relatively small so it's usually pretty crowded in the weekends (especially in the afternoon).

Relatively small and crowded beach. You can come here either by ferry from sai Kung pier or a 1hr + hike from sharp island pier. The hike might be a little challenging for beginners especially on a sunny day as there are a lot of stairs at the start. But it gets better when you are near the beach. There are food options here like cup noodles, snacks and drinks. You will need to pay $120 and $100 deposit to loan the umbrella. There are two platforms on the sea to be on and enjoy the scene out in the sea. The pier is only a 5 mins away from the beach.

Insanely clean beach. Roughly 30-40mins hike upon arrival on the boat to get to the beach. Not many people around despite being there in on a hot Saturday afternoon. 🐡 Only this is there seemed to be loads of tiny tiny baby jelly fish in the ocean (I assume they're jelly fish) because you could feel the tiniest sting on your body as you're playing in the water. Could almost go unnoticed but after being in the sea for 30+ minutes you will feel it a bit more.

You can catch the ferry easily at Sai Kung Pier. It’s a beautiful beach, but small. We went on a Monday and struggled to find a spot. The rinse off area is also small and uses well water. There is a concession stand that offers umbrellas for rent and sells food and drinks. There is also a short hike to a pavilion.

Nice place with moderate flow of people. The best thing is crystal clear water. Have a good facility of shower 🚿 & public toilet. Canteen, bbq sitting area also sharp island hiking trail

It's an OK beach. The water is clean but not very clear. The area is fairly small and the view is not as nice as at some other beaches. In July, even on a Tuesday around noon it was still pretty crowded. I think we went too late. And at this time of year, it's actually not refreshing to go swimming close to the beach because the water here is shallow and quite warm. There is another little rocky bay that you could climb to just to the left of the walkway when you get off the boat. It's obviously not as safe, but a few people went there to swim away from the crowds. The round-trip boats from Sai Kung pier cost $40. For some companies (Wah Kee/red banner, for one), if you have 2+ people, you may be able to negotiate on price. It's a comfortable ride with some nice views. You can also consider getting off at Sharp Island instead, where there is also a stretch of beach (not sure whether it's gazetted/lifeguarded). On the way back, we saw it was much less crowded than Hap Mun Bay.

Incredibly clean and secluded beach. It’s a bit small but you can find your own quiet spot 😊😊. Perfect for tanning and swimming .

Worth the hike over, but no toilets. Crystal clear water, and the sand was so smooth!!! The hike back was awful and literally almost fainted

The best unspoiled beach in Hong Kong, period. The problem, you walk your tail off to get there. Google maps says there is bus No. 9A to get to the East Dam. It did not say as of 2020 May, 9A only operates on legal holiday and Sunday afternoon after 3.30 pm.

Softest white sand, easy to hike from East Dam, twenty five minutes walk mostly downhill. Beautiful views, clean water and can take a speedboat back to Sai Kung pier from here.

Fine sands and clear water. Suitable for novice swimmers when the wind is not easterly (be noted that there is no life guard). Beautiful scenery of the bay and the rivers flowing toward the seas.

The water was really stunning and clear.Hong Kong is really proud to have beach like this.

A beautiful beach at the end of Maclehose Trail Section 1. Many fallen trees on the beach caused by the mega typhoon in 2018.

Nice place for a stay (alone or group) with tent camping

Gorgeous spot.. worth the walk 45min hike from Sai Kung to be rewarded with a compact little beach with nice clear water, and access back to Hebe Haven via sampan. Get there early or go midweek to avoid the bustling crowds boated in by the afternoon.

Nice beach, easy trail to reach it. 😉

Nice little beach front that you can visit by way of ferry or hike from Sai Kung Village. Good sand and swimming conditions.

A beautiful beach easily accessible by boat and walking, Trio Beach is clean and offers beautiful views. Lifeguards are on duty until 6pm and there is also an anti-shark net in place. The main beach itself is sandy and there is a snack kiosk, showers, and changing rooms. There's a ferry (sampan) from Hebe Haven - a return ticket cost HK$20 - and the last scheduled boat back is 7.30pm. If you miss the boat, there's a trail back to the main road.

One of the Hidden gems of Kong Hong. Need a short ride on ferry at PakSaWan to get to this beach. Small but clean, wonderful time for sun-bathing and relaxation

It’s a good place to get some sunshine and be close to the water. A lot of people are there including kids, adults and all sorts of people. It’s a good place to chill and have some fun. Besides, a barbecue field is pretty near to the beach. Take some friends, or family members there, and you might love it.

I met a local guy last week and he told me Trio Beach is a good place to snorkel. Well .... ah..... the day I went, I did not see a lot of fish, other than a few schools of small sliver color fish common in Hong Kong beaches. The beach is very quiet and peaceful. It has all the facilities of Hong Kong public beaches. And It is easy to get to. One can take a short ferry trip from the White Sand Beach Pier in Sai Kun. The fair is 20 HKD round trip. Or one can walk an hour from the Sai Kun Lion Club for an hour.

A relatively quiet and clean beach in the winter season. It has about 20 parking spots right next to it so it's fairly accessible. Although it's a bit chilly to swim here in Dec, people do come to stroll along the beach and enjoy the beautiful sunshine with partners.

Key Characteristics of South Bay Beach: 1. Location & Atmosphere: · Next to Repulse Bay: It's located just south of Repulse Bay, over a small headland. While Repulse Bay is famous, wide, bustling, and backed by a grand promenade and luxury apartments, South Bay is its more secluded and low-key neighbour. · "More Quiet": This is its primary appeal. It's significantly less crowded than Repulse Bay or Deep Water Bay, making it a favourite for those seeking a more peaceful, private beach day without the crowds. The vibe is relaxed and local. 2. Accessibility ("Only accessible by taxi or private vehicle"): · This is mostly true and is the main reason for its quietness. · Public Transport: There is no MTR station or direct high-frequency bus service that drops you right at the beach. This filters out the majority of casual visitors. · The Options: · Taxi: The most common and convenient way to get there. · Private Vehicle: There is a small paid parking lot, making it feasible for those who drive. · Bus & Walk: The more adventurous can take a bus to Repulse Bay (e.g., buses 6, 6X, 260 from Central) and then walk for about 20-25 minutes along South Bay Road, which is a steep and winding path with limited sidewalks. This walk is part of the reason it remains so quiet. · Minibus: There is a designated green minibus (Route 40) that runs from Causeway Bay (Jardine's Crescent) to South Bay, but it has a limited schedule. 3. Physical Layout: · It's a relatively small, crescent-shaped cove surrounded by lush, green hillside and luxury villas. This geography naturally encloses the beach and enhances its sense of seclusion. 4. Facilities: · It is a government-managed beach, so it has standard public facilities: lifeguards (during the swimming season), showers, changing rooms, and toilets. There is also a small snack kiosk, but options are limited compared to larger beaches. 5. Social Vibe: · It has a reputation for being popular with expatriates, local families who live nearby, and dog owners (it's unofficially dog-friendly, especially in the early mornings and evenings). · It's also known as a spot for younger people to have small beach barbecues in the designated pits.

Quite nice u can enjoy BBQ n swimming n not to crowded like other beaches

Cool.......Great and beautiful beach, clear water and good scenery. Due to pandemic issue, no safe guide on duty, yet calm and comfortable. Downside's traffic not convenient as no public transport going in, self-drive highly recommended.

If in need of a quiet beach it’s definately that during the week Hk island side. Half hour walk from repulse , 5-10 mins In a taxi from chunghomkok beach . Clean facilities . Water is clean too for swimming . Not so easily accessible if you are not driving which probably limits most people as buses also don’t stop there. Just grab your own gear and go!

Public beach that is a bit out of the place. More accessible with own transport. The birds are not afraid of hooman. 😎 Downside 1. Many party boats anchoring near the beach playing loud music. 2. The public toilet is undergoing renovation.

Very nice place. Clean water and beach. After sunset you can enjoin open air caffe's in the end of the beach. Go inside the village you'll find a lot of caffe with a nice local cheap food.

The most visited beach on Lamma Island. Didn't see washed up rubbish on the beach. The water is an olive green and a bottle murky, but little rubbish floating around. There are washing and changing facilities, benches to sit on, restaurants, places that rent beach essentials, and lifeguards. It's one of the nicest and cleanest beaches I've been to in Hong Kong

May2025 Popular beach in Lamma with shark net protection. Not the best beach in terms of habitat and environmental health but well maintained and monitored

Hung Shing Yeh beach is Lamma island's most well known beach. It's a nice beach with shallow water making it safe for anyone and everyone to go into the water. There is a toilet as well as changing and showering facilities and there are bars, food stalls and a couple of restaurants in the area

Beautiful and unspoiled beach with life guards on site, changing areas, showers and some restaurants/ snack/ drinks shop. It is a 20 minutes walk from the village thru the tropical forest. You do have wild snakes here, worth staying in the tracks. Once on the beach is so relaxing and safe, as they installed shark protective nets in the water to allow safe bathing and swimming. The Power Station dominates The landscape on the right, just make sure you look left and gaze at the clean waters. I didn't continue the walk, but you can access the other port and return to HKG Island or Stanley. To me, walking on the protected village, and reaching the beach is a good day out.

I went on the weekday. So there aren’t many people. Peaceful beach. Good for visiting if you want to escape from the city.

Pretty well maintained. Lifeguards making sure waters are safe.

Had a fun time with my come. Best time to swim is early morning. Lot of insects though. The beach was full of trash. I gope it could be cleaner.

HK's summer is unbearablely sultry, but in mid May, when temp is "only" 31C and you have clouds blocking the sun every now and then, taking a walk on this beach is still enjoyable. Nevertheless, maybe it's a weekday, the beach was practically empty when we arrived.

Rather quiet beach in HK compared to some popular ones even on public holidays. Can swim, water sports like kayak for rental next to the beach. Nice.

I really enjoyed the chill vibes from this beach. It's a relaxed atmosphere with not too many people on a Monday afternoon. If only the beach was clean. There was a lot of rubbish on the beach and in the water. Next time I come I'll remember to bring a bag to do a small beach cleanup.

One of the best beach in hongkong, it's perfect for a family bond .

On Sept 15, 2022, I came here after lunch. There’re nice facilities and lifeguard service. I swam along the buoy line of the swimming area as there wasn’t any floating platforms. The water was calm and the beach was peaceful.

Silvermine Bay Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Hong Kong. The miles long and natural beach is so beautiful . Compare with the other beaches at the HK Island and the New Territories , this beach is not that busy and crowded . I visited this beaches for many times, with lots of childhood memories .

Yes, Silvermine Bay Beach is a beach, but it's more than just an ordinary beach. Unlike other beaches in Hong Kong where you see mostly some basic beach amenities on the shore, there are quite a few interesting scenes here. Walk along the path that runs across the whole beach, and you'll find some small houses that you don't often see in the city. Some look vintage, some glamorous and some blend perfectly with the nature. Together with the splendid view of the sea and the sandy beach, you can indulge yourself with a relaxed atmosphere without realizing how time slips away.

This is a gorgeous beach, perhaps my favorite that I visited in my trip to Hong Kong. The sand is fine, the water is not crazy, there is a small store where you can buy or rent sun umbrellas, ice cream, water, and beach mats. There are showers, plenary of people swimming and sunbathing, but it is not overly crowded. If you take a little hike from the first beach to the second beach you will observe some beautiful panoramas. The beach is very easily accessible by bus! And quite literally perfect!

On Oct 6, 2022, I came here for the first time. I walked from the Second Beach. There were very few beach-goers in this first beach. The incoming waves were stronger than expected. The water was clear. I swam to the two floating platforms, believing the lifeguard was watching me earnestly throughout.

Much quieter than the Clear Water Bay Second Beach; however, there's a long staircases in order to get there. For those who want to spend a quiet morning or afternoon at the beach, this beach is highly recommended.

Nice small beach at clear water bay, not very crowded, with essential facilities. 30min bus ride from TKO, good choice for weekend getaway. Be ready for some looong stairs.

The water and beach are clear and clean. The best beach I've had swim so far here in hk. The downside though is that no life guard as they suspended the swimming activities here, ( but still a lot of people come here for a swim and relax) . If you come here, be prepared to take a long and steep stairs going down to the beach area.

It was quite small and nothing much to do here . Can skip for better beaches . Want to try trails nearby although for good views

We did not expect such a peaceful beach in Hong Kong. It is just 30-40 minute Taxi/Uber ride from downtown away. You can drive to Tai Wan Tau Beach and then talk a short walk on the walking path through the forest to get there. The beach had all you would need like shower facilities, bathrooms and a shop to buy drinks. We visited on a weekend day and there were not too many people around, in contrast to Clear Water Bay Second Beach. Water was indeed clear and we didn't notice any plastics pollution.

When compared with the main beach in Cheung Chau (ie, Tung Wan), this one is small, less accessible, and above all, has coarse sand and make strolling on the beach bare foot less enjoyable. I guess you come here mainly because its neighboring Tung Wan is jammed and you want a little more privacy.

Underrated. I rather go here than the touristy 東彎 beach, you may ask, why? First of: Way less people, way cleaner, Still really close to 東彎 beach, and even more!

The ferry pass by this beach every time. I finally walk by and find it small but nice and peaceful. The beach is very clean, probably the tide wash all debris away. I suspect the tide is very strong since the sand are smooth, probably by the tide

Very nice and laid back beach. Unfortunately very dirty from microplastics and other debris. I stepped on a pin and had a little wound. Luckily the lifeguards had the right stuff to help and disinfect the wound.

The beach is small but less crowded than Tung Wan Beach (main beach). The lifeguard services were suspended, but many people were still swimming, and it felt safe. It has a shade of the hill in the afternoon. The restaurant at the corner rents windsurfing, kayaking, and SUP equipment.

These are two swimming beaches on the east side of Cheung Chau Island. Tung Wan Beach is around 400 metres long and just north of Kwun Yam, which is less than half that size. These beaches are also known locally for the good windsurfing conditions during the summer months. You'll find a handful of shops with boards and equipment and waters filled with surfers, especially on windy days. Interestingly, Lee Lai-shan, a local professional windsurfer trained here before later going on to become the world champion and 1996 Olympic gold-medalist in the sport.

Cons first: sand is grosser here and the beach is smaller, and many times there is no lifeguard serving. But I like this beach because there is fewer people, quieter, and things are closer to each other (chairs, tables, toilet, shower etc). If you want more shops for toys and drinks, you better visit the larger beach nearby.

Like many beaches in HK (eg, Clear Water Beach), you've to walk some distance down the slope before you can reach the beach. But when you get there and see the beautiful scenery in front of you, you may say "it's worth it". Again, without contamination from rain water carrying debris and dirt during rainy season, the water is crystal clear, as seen from the video clip attached.

No water supply, which means no shower and no drinking water unlike other beaches around. Except for Sunday it's empty though, mostly populated by local cleaners who have a tendency to be around you all the time you're here lol. But the water is clean and it's peaceful. Just bring a bottle of water to drink and another one to splash on yourself after swimming, that unwashed salt feels really bad on a hot day.

Chung Hom Kok Beach in Hong Kong is a peaceful and scenic hideaway, perfect for those seeking a quiet escape from the city’s busy rhythm. Nestled between lush green hills, the beach offers soft golden sand, clear blue water, and a relaxed atmosphere rarely found in the more popular beaches of Hong Kong Island. It’s ideal for swimming or enjoying a tranquil picnic by the sea. The water is generally calm, making it a great spot for families or casual swimmers. Facilities such as showers, changing rooms, and lifeguards are available, ensuring comfort and safety. The beach is easily accessible yet feels pleasantly secluded, especially on weekdays. With its beautiful natural setting and serene vibe, Chung Hom Kok Beach is one of Hong Kong’s best-kept coastal secrets — a perfect place to unwind and recharge.

Pretty decent beach! Has bbq pits and all, the toilet was working though and there was no running water but there was a big bucket of water to flush and wash hands… ig: @miloyeo

Nice, relatively small Beach. Water was clean. Easy access with public transport. The female toilet was closed. Another toilet had no paper. No water refill station and no shop on the beach. Take everything with you.

Fair beach accessible from short downhill walk from Chung Hom Kok Road, around 20-30 minute walk from Stanley Village through Stanley Ma Hang Park. Sand quality is pretty good, there is a kiosk where you buy drinks, snacks and rent chairs and umbrellas. Less crowded than the beaches closer to the village

The beach it self is nice. Same is soft and beach is clean. But the water today is not great, there were some trash and some dead fishies (prob a freak nature accident). Please note that there is beach umbrella and chairs for rent , but they are super expensive! $100 for umbrella, $80 for chair. So please bring your own umbrella. The stairs leading to the main road didn't bother me too much.

Great place for spending a day to get closer to the nature. Awesome scenic and the trails are relatively easy for adults or children.

Wonderful little island part of HK. To get there, I recommend being at the ferry pier at least 30m before departure as the queue can be very long. At the end of the queue, you will be able to buy toundtrip tickets for Tung Ping Chau. Don't worry if the queue seems long, in case there is a lot of people queuing the ferry company will send multiple boats. Once on the island, there is pretty much nothing to buy, so come prepared with water and food. There are some spots (right of the arrival pier) where you can have a swim without rocks, so bring your swimsuit :)

Quite remote from HK, but definitely worth it! The island has amazing geological features, super cool to see and unique in HK due to its remote location. A good idea is to walk around the island, in 2 or 3 hours.

The Tung Ping Chau trail is around 6.5 km in distance and circles the outlying island of Tung Ping Chau. It is a fairly easy hike which is a mix of paved walkway and quick a bit of natural trail. It takes around 3-4 hours to complete with minimal stops or up to 5-6 hours if you take in the numerous geological points of interest and viewpoints along the route. Plenty of signs, maps and highlight information panels found throughout the trail. Note: There is a shorter version of the trail that skips the far north of the island cutting across the island at Cham Keng Chau on the west coast back across to the main ferry pier. Note: To make your way to Tung Ping Chau for this particular hike, you will need to visit on the weekend and take the ferry from Ma Liu Shui Pier, 10 minute walk from University MTR Station. Sailings on only on Saturday (9am and 3pm) and Sunday (9am) and is around 1.5 hours to travel the 27km distance to Tung Ping Chau. The ferry returns from Tung Ping Chau to Ma Liu Shui Pier at 5.15pm (Sat and Sun). There are no daily sailings to Tung Ping Chau during weekdays. The Tung Ping Chau Trail passes through several abandoned villages with ruinous hamlets and a handful of highlight geological sites where you can view, walk upon and admire unique sedimentary rock formations that protrude from the Earth at various angles and form beautiful coastal scenes alongside the clean blue waters that surround the island. There are nice beachfronts, stretches of hillside with heavy vegetation, wooded areas and even patches of bamboo forrest that you will see. Particular highlights along the Tung Ping Chau Trail include A Ma Wan Beach, the Tin Hau Temple and Kang Lau Shek where you see impressive sea stacks and Wave-cut sedimentary patterns. Lung Lok Shui, Pak Lap Wan and Chau Wei Kok have similar wave-cut patterns and rock formations. There is a neat sea abrasion canyon you can walk through at Cam Keng Chau as well. There are picnic areas and several public toilet facilities situated on the east side of the island trail. A small village area just a few hundred metres from the main pier includes a couple of island cafes where you will also find toilets. This is a good location for a rest break and bite to eat if you fancy something while waiting for the 5.15pm afternoon ferry off of Tung Ping Chau. Overall, this trail offers a great full day out of the city, particularly when the weather is clear and favourable. The hike is quite easy and the scenery is very rewarding. There are a surprising number of other hikers and day trippers that you will see throughout the day but they tend to spread around the island so it isn't too difficult to find quiet spots if you look for them. The biggest issue with this particular trail is that it is limited to weekend use due to the lack of weekday ferries out to Tung Ping Chau.

Very cool UNESCO Geopark, with fascinating rock layers and a hike which takes you around the island in around 2-2.5 hours. Some camping areas and decrepit buildings from when the island was active in the 80s. Well worth a day trip, you can get a ferry from Ma Liu Shui in Sha Tin.

Fantastic forgotten island of Hong Kong. Once 3000 people lived here and now down to 10 or so. The ferry goes from Ma Lui Shui pier, get there early because it’s busy. We got there 30 mins early and only just got on the first boat. Once there, there are a few eating places open at weekends, the whole island takes 3-4 hours taking it very slowly and exploring the empty houses and villages. Well worth checking out the houses. Some very pretty beaches and outstanding geological features. Would be fun to camp out a night here.

Great place for hiking...got interesting rocks! I am not a fan but is a good place to go if you are bored of the normal hiking trail. There is only one ferry in the morning and need to book in advance, the ferry back to city is at 5pm. There are only one or two stores nearby the pier, make sure you have enough water and food.

A small beach in any standard, it even feels like it's at the corner of Stanley. The public parking is on a dead end street, hence it's very crowded during the bathing season. Having said that, the water is crystal clear in Dec. Just by checking out its water quality, I thought I was in Thailand's pristine beaches for a minute.

Not to crowded ,closer to rescue too .

enough space for parking, not crowded even on Sunday. Wonderful sunset. There are drinks, beers and a few potato chips in the kiosk. Please be aware of the changing room and shower room are getting old.

Since early Nov 2023, I have been frequenting the Beach a lot as lifeguard service will cease at the end of the month. It has become my favourite beach as it is usually quiet, the distance from shore to floating platform is appropriate for me, and lying on the warm sand or the rocking platform is heaven on Earth to me.

There are several beaches near Stanley Village including St. Stephen's Beach located along Wing Ma Kok Road around a 10 minute walk south of the popular Stanley Market. The beach is considerably shorter than the Main Beach but includes basic facilities including public toilets, changing rooms, BBQ pits, two lifeguard stations and a water sports centre. The sand and swimming conditions at St. Stephen's Beach are good. There are a couple trees on the beach but otherwise very little in the form of shade. Overall, it is nice supplemental beach for those looking for something more intimate and secluded compared to the Main Beach nearer to the main village.

Great for reading a book and get inspired by the nature at this beach in the Hong Kong Island, near the Stanley Barracks, the military closed area.

Beautiful sunset at St. Stephens beach. It has much less tourist compare with the main beach. It is very quiet and calm. Mostly western tourist come here.

It’s easily to get here by bus get off at Cafeteria beach bus stop then walk 5 mins to get there. This beach is not that big but chill enough. It’s a good spot to watch sunset. There is public clean toilet here. The beach and water are clean. Good place to spend time in Tuen Mun area

Didn't visit the beach on a sunny day so this might have detracted from my experience. With sewage pipes, a yacht club and some busy ship routes nearby, water was not so clean. Sand also became hard because of the light rain. Seeing the water quality, I wouldn't choose to swim there though I did see a few swimmers despite the gloomy weather.

There is a string of beaches along Castle Peak Road southeast of Tuen Mun including Cafeteria Old, Cafeteria New and Golden Beach. It is nicely located for those staying at Gold Coast hotel, not far from the town centre of Tuen Mun. The beach sand is pretty good, plenty of designated swimming area, facilities and a few eateries at the nearby Golden Coast Piazza. For those staying elsewhere in the city, there are quite a few convenient beaches you can choose from that might be preferable to Golden Beach. However, it is fine to visit here if staying in Tuen Mun or areas in New Territories West.

Golden Beach is a nice spot to relax and enjoy the sea. The sand is soft and the water is clear, making it good for swimming. There are some shaded areas nearby, which are great for taking breaks from the sun. Facilities like small cafes and snack stands are available close by.We spent a quiet afternoon there, enjoying the calm atmosphere and the natural surroundings. It’s a good place to visit if you want to get away from the busy city for a while.

The most calm and beautiful place in hongkong for a nice sunset view by the beach and a peaceful evening walk ♥️

Good experiences of golden beach not too much crowded. I liked very much.

I come here weekly. Towing a float buoy, I swim along near the safety buoy lines as there is no floating platform in the swimming areas. Parking isn’t a problem during weekdays.

TongFuk beach is about a couple hundred meters west of Cheung Sha. Its size, view, and amenity are similar to those found in the other two.

Really nice, easy going, lesser known and clean beach in Lantau Island, perhaps a tad better than the Cheung Sha beaches but no equipment store there. It is good enough just for a swim. Very nice scenery, and there is a little steam flowing with fresh water into the sea, quite a special feature. There was just one group of swimmers there when I went. Easily located off the main road and the bus stop. Take Bus 11 toward the Tai O direction and get off at Tong Fuk Tsuen.

On Oct 27, 2022, I came here for the first time and found that lifeguard service was suspended. There were just two beach-goers bathing under the deep Autumn sun. I thought it risky to swim. I added some bright sounds via my ukulele. It was a self-romanticising afternoon for me.

One of the best beaches in Hong Kong, a “hidden” gem on the south side of Lantau. The beach is easy to access with bus from either Tung Chung or Mui Wo, there is also parking for private car or you can take a taxi. This is a different side of Hong Kong where peace is in abundance, at least in the colder months of the year. We have been many times, but as a reference during our last visit in November the temperature was 29 degrees Celsius and there were 4 more visitors at the beach plus 4 staff (lifeguard and 3 cleaners). The beach is impeccably clean, there are toilets and changing rooms. In the small nearby town of Tung Fuk there is small shops and a few restaurants. This beach is pretty dog friendly, at least during the non-peak season, we brought our dog here before.

Quite a distance away from bustling Central in Hong Kong, Tong Fuk beach is a great location to spend a quiet relaxing day.

Beautiful beach and sand, only thing is no sunsets here, it's facing the sunrise direction :( The water is pretty polluted sometimes, depending on the wind direction.

idyllic beach, quiet, clean, nice place for family activities, swimming and doing sport, with life guard during the summer, shower and changing room, wash rooms are available

The beach itself is fine, albeit small in size. Water quality was very good indeed the time I went (Dec 2024). For one thing, there are only a handful of parking spaces (6-7) on the side of the road; besides, you need to walk about 30 metres before you get to the beach.

It’s a super small beach and very quiet. It’s nice to chill out and relax. wouldn’t say water is in the best condition it’s quite blurry and dirty. You can even go there later in a day and get a longer sun session compare to rupaulse beach. definitely recommend bringing some snacks and water because there is in the many options. On the weekends is the best place to go because on the way back to Hong Kong you can get the transportation quickly either a taxi or a bus.

i went here last night with my friends. before leaving, i decided to go to the changing room, when i went in, a man with a towel on his neck followed me, i assumed he was going to change his clothes so i didnt think much at first. once got in, i put my stuff on the seating area and looked around the room, while doing so, the man was creepily walking around as well, but i also didnt think much of it since i was kinda doing the same. so i took my clothes and got in one f the changing stalls, in there i can vaguely hear some footstep. i went out and sat back on the seating area to wear my sandals. suddenly the man starts walking towards me and asks (in canto) "are you leaving?" i answered yes. he asked "you wanna play?" and starts slowly trying to grab my hand. i pulled away and said no, then he left. do not go in the changing rooms alone at night

Very rocky at the shore and the water is like oily. Your skin will feel weird with an oily cast after swimming inside. Sand towards the top of the beach is softer and nicer though. Quite nice seashells found there as well but a ton of rocks so be careful with your feet. It’s a very quiet beach with little to no people at all so it’s pretty peaceful

If you are straight and going to that beach to avoid ppl - It is known as a gay and nudist-ish beach. Saw many gay guys in super minimal underwear there many times, normal ppl avoid it - so you can relax mostly alone or in a company of a few middle aged perverts that won't approach you hahah. The water isn't very clean but clean enough that you can see through at about 1,5 meters. OK shower and facilities much cleaner and less smelly than deep water bay. Early morning many service ppl hustle around facilities, cleaning etc. But it's relaxed.

Small beach, better than repulse bay. Sand quality is very good; other aspects rather average

Quiet beach without an operating concession stand, but with changing room and showers.

Long Ke Wan is hands down one of the most beautiful beaches in Hong Kong. The white sand, crystal-clear water, and peaceful surroundings make it feel like a hidden paradise. It’s the perfect spot to escape the city and just relax. Getting there takes a bit of effort since it’s only accessible by hiking or by boat from Sai Kung. If you enjoy hiking, the trail from the MacLehose Trail is scenic and offers some amazing views along the way. If you’re short on time or prefer a more relaxed trip, hiring a speedboat from Sai Kung Pier is a good option. There aren’t any shops or facilities on the beach, so it’s important to bring your own food, water, and any essentials you’ll need. The lack of commercialisation is what makes it so special. It’s completely unspoiled and incredibly peaceful. If you love camping, this is an amazing place to stay overnight. The quiet surroundings and starlit sky make for an unforgettable experience. Overall, Long Ke Wan is a must-visit for nature lovers, beachgoers, and anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful escape from city life. Just be prepared for the journey, and you’ll be rewarded with one of the most stunning beaches in Hong Kong!

浪茄 is probably the nicest beach in Hong Kong. The sand is white, probably from crushed seashell. And the water is about as clean as any beach in HK. To get there is not easy. You need to get a taxi at the bus station located near the Park Headquarters to the East Dam of 萬宜水庫. And then hike one hour up and down a pretty steep hill. Google map says 30 minutes, but that is for the birds and able bodied boot camp training. It took my old bones 1 hour +/- including a few photo stops. Because of the inconvenience, the beach is not crowded. Highly recommended.

Very nice beach, clear water and the sand is soft, there’s also cows that pop up sometimes since they wander around the place. It’s just a shame that some people leave their trash behind even though public trash cans are available.

As an expat living in HK for 23 years. This is my favourite place in all of HK. Peaceful, relaxing, scenic…. After a brisk 45 min hike from the reservoir you are rewarded to a beautiful natural sanctuary from the travails of urban life just one hour away. Silky smooth sand, clear tropical sapphire water where you can see your feet at the bottom as the minnows dance around them. Might as well be Phuket or Hawaii. One of HK’s hidden gems - at least to the outside world.

Beach has a lot of potential and was really excited to go. But was sad to see amount of garbage around the trails, and on the beach in the water.

A beautiful easy to access beach with turquoise water and white sand. We hiked via MacLehose trail section 1 (and beginning of 2) for about 2h45mins. You can also take a minibus 9A (Sundays only 3.20-6pm) or a taxi back to Pak Tam Chung. There are interesting hexagonal rock formations, a few caves and reservoirs on the way, so definitely enough things to do besides just staying on the beach.

Amazing beautiful place with a hike once you’re there you are enjoy

Love this beach …… 🥰

The mose exotic and peaceful beach even it a bit difficult route, but I love to go camping there , prepare for the next holidays 😍😍😍

Simply one of the best beach you can enjoy a day with in HK. Reminder: NO LIFEGUARD. SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK

Super nice beach in SK. top 5

Cleanest beach in Hong Kong.

white sand and clear water

Hong Kong backyard!

The views in here are mesmerising. Great place for street food, I just tried Mango muchi and Fish balls.

☝️of the *BEST* spots in the Hong Kong to get stuck in the great outdoors is Cheung Chau (長洲 Long Island is known as Dumbbell Island due to its resemblance to a dumbbell.) ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ 🛥️ Ferries are the only way to get to the island. Cheung Chau is accessible by ferry from Central Pier 5 in Hong Kong, and they operate frequently throughout the day. Monday-Saturday, the last ferry to Central leaves at 11:45pm, and on Sundays and public holidays, it leaves at 11:30pm. 🪅Bun Festival (Jiu), which is typically held during April or early May, near Buddha's birthday, is characterized by colorful parades, lion dances, and a competition to climb mountains made of buns. 🛕Dumbbell Island is home to a significant attraction known as the Tin Hau Temple. A shrine dating back to 200 years is dedicated to the Taoist Goddess of the Sea and offers stunning views of the beach below. 🖱️Cheung Po Tsai Cave was once a place where a notorious pirate commanded thousands of bandits in the 19th century. 🛤️ The Cheung Chau Family Trail is renowned for its distinctive rock formations and stunning beach vistas, referred to as the 'Mini Great Wall of Cheung Chau'. The trail, built in 1997, is roughly 850 metres long and is located near Kwun Yam Beach and Chi Ma Hang headland, southeast of Cheung Chau. The North Lookout Pavilion is a short hike that is highly recommended. 🏖️ Holiday visitors love Tung Wan and Kwun Yam Wan, two beaches located on the eastern side of Cheung Chau. Tung Wan Beach is more widely known and preferred. Despite being narrow, it is still fairly commercial with plenty of restaurants and cafés close by. The beach has the primary facilities (showers, restrooms, lifeguards). Nearby shops offer the option to rent beach umbrellas. 🍽️ Cheung Chau is also known for its thriving street food scene. Various stalls along the waterfront feature local delicacies like fish balls, mango mochi, frozen watermelon slices and fresh seafood that visitors should not miss out on. 🏬 The main Tung Wan Road is where most of the boutique shops are located for shopping. The ❤️ Love Lock Wall is another popular tourist attraction where people or couples can hang up locks and heart-shaped wooden plaques to commemorate their visit to the island. 🕳️ If you're searching for the perfect blend of cultural experiences, natural beauty, and relaxation, Cheung Chau is the best place to be. 👍🏼 ⚠️ As I was ascending the trail, I unexpectedly encountered what appeared to be a black cobra. The sight of this snake was unexpected and alarming, adding a thrill to my hike. Please take caution and refrain from leaning on grass and dense vegetation.

If you think Hong Kong is just a concrete jungle get out to one of the islands. Cheung Chau has amazing beaches and scenery. The island is car free. Bikes are the main form of transport. Bikes can be hired along the waterfront. Fascinating place to visit. Stop at one of the numerous restaurants along the waterfront, you won’t be disappointed.

Interesting to see some of the rustic, old-world charm of HK. Boat ride was relatively easy and fuss-free. The Deluxe class is worth the price difference. On the island there are some pretty-looking beaches (slightly crowded) hiking trails (much less crowded), and exploring the town area is also rather interesting (very crowded). Quite a few interesting nooks and crannies in the narrow streets to explore. Can't help but also wonder if this place is becoming a victim of a global phenomenon of over-tourism. Some of the island's residents made it quite obvious that they did not exactly welcome the tourists, and I could to some extent understand why.

Beautiful little island just south of HK. One takes a ferry and you are greeted by a plethora of little delightful snack shops and bicycle rental. The little streets are adorned with nice decorations and designs. Very nice experience and definitely a gem of places to visit while in HK.

It’s quite a nice place to get away from the city, located 30-45 minutes from the ferry station at Central. The small island has a slow pace, with many local food selections, nice yogurt drinks, and desserts. I enjoy the slow pace here; the beach is nice, although the sand is not very soft.

A very nice island with enough restaurants.

It's the biggest beach in Sai Kung District, with tens of parking spots right next to a bus/ minibus stop, making it a very accessible public resort area. The beach is relatively clean with calm water and gentle slope. No wonder it's one of the busiest, even on a weekday in December.

Clear Water Bay Second Beach isn't huge, but it's a great spot-especially on a warm day. The water's clear, the sand's clean, and the views are insane. During the typhoon season, it was pretty fun with the waves crashing in-we were out there jumping around and just enjoying the moment. Glad I went.

Cleaner and larger beach Safe and calm You get a smaller grocery to serve cup noodles and few snacks Also they sell swimming suits and floats Locker facilities and umbrella are there for rent . It cost $ 140 for both per day No ball games allowed Come enjoy

A safe and calm beach. Good facilities for shower and changing and a nice laid-back vibe. Water is pretty still and clean inside the safe net so it’s suitable for laps or just a gentle splash. It feels out-of-the way, but has pretty good transport links, e.g. bus 91 to Diamond Hill MTR, or minibus 16 which terminates just near Po Lam MTR. It may get busy on sunny weekends, but mid-week it is a nice and calm oasis.

On Oct 6, 2022, I came again. Parking on a weekday wasn’t a problem. Despite the red flag, I swam to all the three floating platforms towing a buoy. The clear water was less than calm. Postscript On Sunday, 30 June, 2024, I came here as I couldn’t find a vacant parking lot at Silverstrand Bay. The Beach was crowded in a hot summer day. While feeling the cool bay water, I watched my belongings deposited near the shore.

This beach is sunny and delightful. It’s easy to reach with just a simple bus ride! The water in inviting, the sand is fine, there are little sands with water, snacks, and rental sub umbrellas, and showers. This is a truest gorgeous place to visit in any holiday when you’re looking for a beach! In just a short little hike you can reach Clear Water Bay First beach.

Water was clear (as there had been no typhoons) and sand was clean. Beach has ample shade under the trees on a weekday, but you may be fighting for a spot on weekends. Little kiosk operating for cold drinks, snacks and ice-cream. Lifeguards monitoring the beach. No ball games allowed.

Love this place, the ambiance is so relaxing, it's more to explore so must visit this area it's not crowded.Its safe as being monitored oftentimes. I suggest go visit with your friends ,love ones and if you just want a simple vibe by yourself I recommend you to visit this place.. It's perfect for everyone, for any celebration..

My 2nd time here in Lido Beach, last time was last Nov. 2017! Not much has changed but it is still very beautiful and very clean bathrooms and comfort rooms. Did not have the chance to swim, but the water was cold and refreshing after touring around HK!

Hidden beaches below Hongkong famous bridge .

Beach is small but not super crowded usually. Although it the sand is not fine, water quality is nice that you can immerse in the mood in deeper water. Facility is very basic and no store for snack, drink and alcohol 🥲

lido beach is small but beautiful and very clean beach. you can spend some good time with your loved ones. beach is quite and calm, you just enjoy the sound of waves. visit early in the morning or just before sunset to enjoy the scenic views around. usually open all 24 hours. you can also play beach volleyball here. there's a small food stall to have some snacks.

Lido beach is so beautiful, the water is soo clear and clean. There are lot’s of trees also for you to stay when you resting. I’m loving the place so relaxing plus the views from the bridge perfect for summer gate away ❤️❤️❤️

Nice beach to swim and see the bridges here 24/7, usually there is not crowded. A good place for couples.

This good stretch of beach is located right by the busy Island Road. Public parking is relatively abundant in HK standard. However, parking in those metered spot could be a challenge, especially at night and you are a lone driver. You literally have to stop both sides of the traffic before you could pull out. The beach itself is fine, water pretty clear (in Dec when I filmed) and sand soft and clean. Along with the barbecue area next to it, deep water bay is a "hot spot" during summer season.

Quiet easy to reach small beach but no much restaurants or other facilities, near the main road so you need take care of the kids

Nice beach. Limited cafes / facilities, but offset by the benefit of being not too busy.

Nice beach and views of surrounding areas. Water quality- clean but sadly bits of plastic floating about. There are no convenience stores or kiosks for drinks/snacks, just one Thai restaurant which was quite good. Life guards on duty.

Wow. Great beach for public to have swim and family time. There are good number of BBQ pits and get ready for good time with family and friends. Only lack is there is no shops around to buy stuff like Stanley Beach.

This is the most accessible spot with full facilities for sea swimming. Apart from parking here, one can take a route 6X bus here.

I find this beach amazing. Week connected to downtown with bus, close to the mtr, nevertheless it gives you the sense of being on holiday. Nice bar/restaurant on the beach. Crowded over the weekends

A small beach by all standards. During non-bathing season, visitors are scarce. Water quality was bad the day I went there, and the beach was filled with pebbles and coarse sand, not an ideal place to have kids running around. Nevertheless, Silverstrand is still a serene spot with beautiful countryside views. No wonder some young girls were live streaming on bathing suits...

A quiet place, some people might also call it the hidden gem. 🤫💎

Overflowing with garbage and foam bits at the beach. Sad to see this beach with fine sand and formerly pristine waters become like this. Interesting that there are still some swimmers and lifeguards here. Probably cleaners only come during the summer swimming season to clean up.

Best place for relax and beach enjoy

Small beach with decent showering and changing room facilities, better than those in Clear Water Bay 2nd beach. The changing rooms are relatively small, but the large showering facilities makes up for that. Great beach for those who want to avoid crowds, though as with any other beaches it can get a little crowded during the weekends of summer. Seawater quality and visibility varies throughout the year but it tends to be polluted with floating rubbish after several days of heavy rain. On good days, underwater visibility could reach upwards of 3 meters though it's usually under 2 meters. Corals of many species, shapes and colors can be found growing along the seashore at the east of the beach, making it an ideal and convenient place to free-dive and observe marine life.

This beach is very beautiful with mountain.slope behind and wonderful seaview. It is also veey quiet, small though. Good for lovers to hang around indeed. The only drawback is that transportation to there is a bit inconvenient. Need to walk 10-15 minutes down the stairs after taking off the bus or mini-bus.

Nice small beach, but hard to get there. Hundreds of steps, or a very steep road. 25mins walk from Mtr Hang Hau, or a 6mins ride with a cab

This is really the best Place to relax The sand so white, water is every clear

Clear water. A beautiful bay for swimming.

A nice summar weekend to spend at sea shore. It was clean with full of people in sunny days. The beach was clean and so the water, as the name suggests - clear water bay. It was not very far from the heart of HongKong. It is well connected by public transport, and doesn’t really required to go by private vehicle.

Beautiful place to unwind

Clear water bay 2021

peaceful place in hong kong. the golf club is exclusive to members but who needs to go there when there are hiking trails with beautiful view all around clear water bay!

Nice Bay!👍🤩🏝

I absolutely loved the cable car ride. It was beyond amazing and the view is breathtaking. I would do it over and over again. For the best experience take the crystal cabin with glass floor. Round trip per person is 315 HKD. When you enter the cabin one of staff will take your picture and once you arrive on the other side you will see it printed. The price for the picture is almost the price for the ride which is expensive. And you see most of gjr people not buying them which ends up in waste. They should reconsider their prices for the pictures I guess. Other than that it's a beautiful experience and I'll do it again.

If there is ever one place in Hong Kong that you must visit then it's lantau Island with the Beautiful Buddha. take the cable car up , climb all those stairs and appreciate the beautiful culture of the Chinese whilst looking at the beautiful hills and nature . now take a walk to the gorgeous temple and take a moment to reflect . after this stunning tour take a bus down to the coast and catch a super fast ship - Ferry to Kowloon . Your life will definitely be different after this tour - BTW - it's really cheap to do it yourself - ask the hotel Concierge

There are 3 ways to get to the island - cable car (most expensive), bus (cheaper), or trek (cheapest). Each has its pros and cons - the cable car offers a spectacular view, but the trek is great fun and easy to do.

Visit the mountain peaks it's worth jr

Lantau Island is the largest of Hong Kong's more than 250 islands. It is located to the west of Hong Kong Island and is almost twice its size at nearly 147 sq. kilometres. The island is mostly protected country park and rural lands and is considered a major 'green lung' of Hong Kong. It is also the location of Hong Kong International Airport and several major sightseeing venues and locations. Lantau is where you will find Hong Kong Disneyland, the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car, Village and Giant Buddha. The island is also home to numerous historical fishing villages, most notably Tai O which is west of the town of Tung Chung. This is a neat heritage location and place to view the rare pink dolphins which reside in the coastal waters nearby. The island is also known for its beaches, particularly at the village of Mui Wo as well as the long and beautiful stretches of sandy shores at Cheung Sha. There are two country parks, Lantau North and Lantau South which protect nearly half of the island, encompassing numerous peaks, valleys, woodlands, coastline and HK's largest reservoir. The island also hosts some of Hong Kong's most popular hiking spots including the famous Sunset Peak Trail and the it 70-km Lantau Trail. While travel around Lantau Island is quite limited compared to Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, there is regular and frequent transportation to the island by way of MTR, Airport Express, public buses as well as ferries to the village of Mui Wo in the south. There are limited accommodation options on Lantau with a few properties available at Mui Wo, Tai O and Tung Chung being the most accessible. You'll find restaurants, supermarkets, convenient stores and basic services such as banks and cash points at Mui Wo, Tung Chung and the Ngong Ping 360 Village and casual eateries and stores in other villages around the island in areas frequented by tourists.

Lantau Island is the most beautiful place in Hongkong. on this island there is a statue of Buddha that is very beautiful and majestic. and the road is very tiring because to reach the budha statue we have to pass a very high ladder! yes that is the beauty of Lantau island is very memorable in the heart

Wow nice

Amazing beach with finest sand you may find in Hong Kong. If you plan to visit, please plan to help clean up the beach too. I bring my own coffee for #coffeecamping

Great beach to relax and upwind! Super easy to reach by bus, car or boat. Restaurants and coffees and water sport rentals available there.

One of the best place to be in Hong Kong. View of mountain and beach is breathtaking... Nice peaceful and soothing to eye place.

Really quiet beach and very soft sand, though the sea was quiet rough. Hardly anyone around when we went! Don't expect any luxuries you'd find at a beach like Repulse Bay though. Also limited food options.

there are a lot of open bars with full beach view. the prices are a bit too steep though. I and a couple of friends settled in the Bathers. this one seemed to be the best furnished with the best ambiance and some music playing in the background. Besides the foods which were wonderful, most notable was the British waitress who wore a big smile on the face. By coincidence she was quite pretty as well. If anything the service was heartwarming. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a romantic night and who has steep pocket to dine in there.

One of my favourite beaches in Hong Kong. No high rise buildings around makes it feel a million miles away from Hong Kong. Plenty of bars/restaurants with take away and eat/drink in options

Quite a nice beach with many different kinds of sea shells. However, a local said that the water is not really clean, but save for swimming.

Sand definitely was not as refined asnthe old days. But glad that it were not as crowd as the old days. It was a nice calm beautiful beach day!

Repulse Bay has a beautiful beach, lifeguards, restaurants and eateries. A popular place for visitors who take the time to come down to this area. It is a popular tour bus stop with large number of tourists who hop out for short periods of time and head back out.

An amazing beach spot to visit here in Hong Kong. Even though cooking or grilling foods isn’t allowed in this area, there are plenty of restaurants nearby where you can grab a meal, and there’s even a 7-Eleven shop, so food is never a problem. This place is perfect for swimming and just chilling by the shore. For those who want to grill, there’s actually a free grilling station located at another beach just nearby where you can cook freely, but unfortunately not in this one. The area also has a lot of comfort rooms, shower rooms, and water drinking stations which make it really convenient for visitors. What makes this place even more interesting is the temple nearby dedicated to Chinese deities. There are many statues of different gods and two huge ones that really stand out. Overall, a great beach to relax, enjoy the view, and explore a bit of culture at the same time.

I loved that beach and there vibes. Very clean and beautiful beach. You can sit and easily spend your evening.

Easy subway to bus route from Mong Kok. I love that the beach has trees, multiple life guard towers, showers and bathroom facilities, shops for food, snacks and beverages, public floating rafts for diving and tanning, and a great vibe. 👍 Clean beach and great views!

Best best place to have fun 👍 relax and explore. Thy have these platform in the water for you to swim to and get on . There is a massive net around so no warning about anything. Tree's on the beach so you can have shade 😎 there we're plenty little fish that my boy feed from his hand . It's beautiful 😍

This is another interesting spot worth visiting. It features a sandy beach where you can swim in the sea, as well as a famous Guan Yin Temple, which is highly revered and often visited for worship. The location is accessible only by vehicle, either by bus or taxi, as the route involves traveling uphill.

To reach Sai Wan Beach you need to hike a while first. Once you reach the beach you get rewarded with an amazing view and breeze. It's a great spot to take a rest and enjoy. The local there could do a way better job at keeping their area clean though. The cows are basically eating plastik from the ground, it's a disturbing view..

Sai Kung is regarded as the backyard of Hong Kong and it does live up to its fame. Amongst other sites, Sai Wan is the most accessible one. Take a mini-bus at the Sai Kung town centre, around 25 min walk then you arrive at Sai Wan Beach. It's very very very clear, spectacular scenery, and you see plenty of maritime lives in the sea, fish, crab, slug, sea cucumber, you name it. There are small restaurants there you can enjoy some fast food with the great sea view. Another 3 hour walk along the nicely built path you arrive at the Yellow Stone Pier where you take bus back to the town. It's a lovely place to go.

Pretty beach in Hong Kong. Clear waters and sand. Many junk boat parties happening at the bay which may block the view. More people than expected as this is way more accessible than the other beaches. Would say relatively crowded compared to other remote beach I went. There are food options here. You will have to book a speed boat back with them in the restaurants. They cost $160-$170 right now. Only accept cash.

One of the best beaches in Hong Kong. White sand and clear water. It’s got a couple restaurants by the beach and even has direct speed boats that gets you directly there from Sai Kung pier (~$120-150 per person depending on day/season).

One of my Favorite place to go- from university mtr we took a green taxi to Sai Wan Pavillion and from there you can start you 20-30 minutes walk, at the beach you can do camping, amazing falls with great restaurants around , they some water sports activities, on the way back you can take a speedboat cost $160-$180 it take 30minutes and drop you at main city of Sai Kung.

Lovely beach, good for camping. If hiking in, the cheaper option, as the boat from Sai Kung is 150 each way for the 30 minute ride, you get the 29R white minibus from outside McDonald's in Sai Kung. Last bus in the morning is 11.30 on a Sunday and the queue will be long, so get there in good time. Go to Sai Wan Pavilion, last stop, then head along the trail. Takes about 20 minutes.

There are several impressive beaches at Tai Long Bay in the Sai Kung East Country Park coastal area, including the Sai Wan Beach. These are amongst the most beautiful and isolated beaches you will find in Hong Kong. You'll need to allow some time to simply reach the beaches. Once you do you will rewarded with long stretches of smooth white sand, minimal rubbish and far fewer people than you will encounter at the beaches within reach of normal public transportation closer to the city. The water is clean and clear, makes for good surfing, swimming or other beach related activities with friends. The most convenient to reach is Sai Wan Beach where you will also find a small village, lagoon area, organic farming, public toilets and convenient shop for light snacks and drinks and a couple of beach cafes. There is a camping area with BBQ pits here as well for those who want to hike in and stay overnight. Note: The easiest way to Sai Wan Beach by foot is 2.2 km hike from Sai Wan Pavilion. There is a public bus (29R) that makes this journey from Sai Kung Village. Otherwise, you will pass through the beach as part of Stage 2 of the MacLehose Trail. It is 6.6 km from the trailhead at the High Island Reservoir East Dam. Boat rides can be arranged as well directly to/from Sai Kung Village.

A small yet relatively secluded beach. The sand quality and water quality was so-so. People come here mostly for kayaking.

Nice place nice view but the beach is terribly dirty, so many trashes

nice ambiance and calm place to do picnic with friends

Good for dogs as no lifeguards. Villagers keep the beach litter free. No toilets / showers / snack bar

clear water and pure sand, beautiful views on the hike and beach. Decent food considering the area (quite remote) 😋

Excellent Beach, Good its not crowded and nice fresh air

Quiet local beach. No patrol for swimming or to clean but amazing view across the water
