To get to the beach, you can take bus 289r (special service) from Sha Tin B/T, which will stop directly at Pak Tam Chung station. Alternatively, you can take bus 299x and get off at Mak Pin, then take bus 94 (Sai Kung) and get off at Pak Tam Chung. From there, you can take Mini Bus 9A bound for East Dam Reservoir Sai Kung, which costs $11.30 and will take you to the UNESCO Geopark.

The walk to the beach will take approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

Sai Wan Beach
8 Ryder Wong

The beach is absolutely beautiful, and it's perfect for camping. Additionally, the sand is a stunning golden color.

Tai Wan
10 Vinny Olivar

This beach is a hidden gem! It's a long stretch of soft sand, perfect for surfing and sunbathing. It can get a bit crowded on the weekends, but since it's only accessible by hiking or boat, it's never too busy. There are no amenities here, but you can find food and drinks at the nearby Ham Tin beach, just a short walk away.

Tung Wan Beach
4 Evan Chen

To reach Tung Wan beach, the best route to hike is from the youth hostel in 赤徑. There are two ferry services available around 10:30 am and 5 pm. After reaching the beach, hike for an hour to 大灣 and then head north for another 30+ minutes. There are three other beaches located south of Tung Wan, but it is the most appropriate for overnight camping due to the availability of fresh water and fewer swimmers and yachts. The trail from 赤徑 is steep and challenging, whereas the trail via 大灣 is comparatively easier. If you are looking for a quick swim, then 大灣 is a better option than Tung Wan. Neither beach has any public facilities, but you can find a few stores in 咸田 and 西灣 located further south.

Nam She Wan beach
