🌴 Beach holidays in Hong Kong

Tired of choosing between the bustle of the city and a beach holiday? Hong Kong breaks the mold: over 40 picturesque beaches make it the perfect beach destination any time of year.

Even in winter (November to February), when the temperature remains a comfortable 15–20°C (and there are no crowds), you can:
- surf small waves;
- stroll along coastal paths;
- kayak in turquoise bays;
- picnic under a clear sky—there are noticeably fewer tourists at this time.

The water warms up to 17–21°C—suitable for swimming for the most adventurous, but even if you don't plan on swimming, you can still have a wonderful time here: yoga classes, sunset walks, or barbecues. You can also combine a beach holiday with city activities: for example, stroll through the markets of Mong Kok in the morning and laze on the sand in the afternoon.

🌅 The best beaches in Hong Kong – choose according to your mood

🏖️ Cheung Sha Beach (Lantau Island, South Lantau)

Hong Kong's longest beach (3 km!) with golden sand – perfect for long walks, barbecues, or kite flying on a windy day. It is divided into two parts:
- Lower (busier);
- Upper (secluded).

🚖 How to get there: Take the MTR to Tung Chung Station (Exit B), then bus 11 or 23 (20 minutes).

🏖️ Shek O Beach (Hong Kong Island, Eastern District)

Golden sands, barbecue spots, and waves perfect for surfing—all in this cozy fishing village. Hike the Dragon's Back trail for panoramic views, then relax with a cold beer.

🚖 Getting there: Take bus 9 from Shau Kei Wan MTR Station (30-45 minutes from Central).

🌅 Big Wave Bay (Hong Kong Island, Eastern District)

A surfer's paradise with amazing waves and ancient rock paintings nearby. Take a surfing lesson or just enjoy the atmosphere.

🚖 Getting there: Take bus 9 from Shau Kei Wan MTR Station (40 minutes); you can also walk from Shek O.

🌅Second Beach Clear Water Bay (Sai ​​Kung, New Territories)

The jewel of the Sai Kung district: crystal clear water and silky sand. This is the district's largest beach, perfect for swimming, picnics, or SUPing in the shallows.

🚖Getting there: Take the MTR to Diamond Hill (Exit C2), then bus 91 to the final stop (30-40 minutes); or take minibus 103M from Hang Hau Station.

🍹 Repulse Bay (Hong Kong Island, Southern District)

A luxurious crescent-shaped beach with calm waters, excellent views, and cocktails right on the shore—with skyscrapers as a backdrop.

🚖Getting there: Buses 6/6A/6X from Exchange Square (Central District, 20-30 minutes).

Hong Kong's beaches are the perfect way to recharge year-round: the city's rhythm at dawn and the salty air at midday.
