Beach Paradise in Hong Kong

While Tai Long Wan may take little leg work to get here, this secluded spot in the east coast of the Sai Kung Peninsula boasts crystal clear water and a beautiful strip of sand, providing tourists and local people a paradise to escape the hustle and bustle of city life in Hong Kong. Tai Long Wan is formed by four amazing beaches – Sai Wan, Ham Tin, Tai Wan and Tung Wan, of which Sai Wan and Ham Tin are more popular with restaurants providing food, beer and room / tent rental services while Tai Wan and Tung Wan are more remote without any man-made facilities around that attract surfers and camping lovers. Tai Long Wan beaches are connected to one another and can be accessed by a bus ride and a-1.5-hour-hike(12KM) from Sai Kung Town.

Tips:

Facilities: Restaurants, room rental, surf board rental, camping equipment, changing rooms

How to get there:

• Take the MTR to Choi Hung (green line), get out at Exit C and get the 1A Green Minibus to Sai Kung (40 mins) (or) Take MTR to Hang Hau Station, get on 101M Green MiniBus to Sai Kung Pier, get off at Po Tung Road
• Take Minibus 29R or a taxi from Sai Kung town (outside McDonalds) and alight at the Sai Wan Pavilion terminal (30 mins)
• Follow the signposts and paths directed to Sai Wan (40 mins)
• Follow the beach path to reach the next three beaches: Sai Wan to Ham Tin (40 mins), Ham Tin to Tai Wan (15 mins); Tai Wan to Tung Wan (40 mins)

Exit:

• You can follow the same way back; or for those lazy ones like me:
• Ask the restaurant owners to order a boat at Sai Wan or Ham Tin back to either Wong Shek Pier ($80 per head, 20 mins) or Sai Kung Town directly ($100-120 per head, 30 mins)
• From Wong Shek Pier, you can take bus no. 94 back to Sai Kung Town (30mins)
