User reviews

"This beach in Hong Kong is considered one of the finest. It offers a peaceful atmosphere with minimal crowds, along with the presence of lifeguards, a shark net, convenient restroom facilities, and even a bistro. It is highly recommended to visit during weekdays or in the mornings."

"The beach is a public one, but it's a little isolated. It's easier to reach if you have your own transportation. The birds there aren't afraid of humans, which is pretty cool. 😎 However, there are a couple of downsides. Firstly, there are many party boats that anchor near the beach and play loud music. Secondly, the public toilet is currently being renovated."
