Ma Tau Wan (Hong Kong) is located outside the huo tou fen cun settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Ma Tau Wan, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

User reviews

"This pristine beach boasts immaculate white sand, but don't be fooled by its beauty - the lack of a formal trail means it's often deserted. So, if you're looking for a peaceful escape from the crowds, this is the spot for you. Just be sure to bring your own supplies as there are no amenities nearby."

Nora Chou

"The stunning beach is a sight to behold. The azure waters and pristine sand create a serene and tranquil atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The gentle breeze and warm sun rays make for a perfect day of relaxation and rejuvenation. The beach is a true gem, and a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. T..."
