📝 Gliding into Nature: My First SUP Trip in Sai Kung

Hoi Ha is different from other beaches with strong winds and waves; it is as calm as a lake, nurturing countless marine creatures.
Hoi Ha Bay is an area of high ecological value, featuring a natural barrier that blocks impurities from entering the seawater, keeping the water relatively clean. (However, it seems that the water quality has changed a bit compared to ten years ago.)
Hoi Ha Bay is home to many marine organisms. It used to be a popular diving spot (now permits are required). To protect the corals🪸 and maintain the ecosystem of Hoi Ha Bay, the government has designated it as one of Hong Kong’s marine parks and legislated to prohibit any human activities that could affect the ecosystem. (This is truly admirable. Occasionally, government boats can be seen observing the surrounding activities from afar. Any creatures found in Hoi Ha Bay must not be taken away!)
Hoi Ha Bay also offers some water activities. For example, you can rent a kayak in the village of Hoi Ha Bay to better experience its beauty.
On this visit, I was lucky to encounter a blue jellyfish🪼 right by the shore—so beautiful!
(If you see a jellyfish, just look but do not touch it. First, it might be poisonous, and second, you don’t want to harm it.)
Besides staying on the beach, you can also enjoy a short hike. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the fork at Wan Tsai campsite. On the left, there is a small path leading to a little rocky beach where I love to sit quietly and wait to watch the sunset🌅.
