Beach Vacation in Hong Kong

Tired of choosing between the hustle and bustle of the city and a relaxing beach getaway? Hong Kong breaks the stereotypes: with over 40 picturesque beaches, it becomes the perfect destination for a beach holiday any time of the year. Even in winter (November to February), when the air temperature stays at a comfortable 15–20°C (and there are no crowds), you can: - Ride small waves on a surfboard; - Stroll along coastal trails; - Kayak in turquoise bays; - Enjoy picnics under clear skies — with noticeably fewer tourists around. The water warms up to 17–21°C — suitable for the bravest swimmers, but even if you don’t plan to swim, there’s plenty to do: yoga sessions, sunset walks, or barbecues. You can also combine a beach holiday with urban entertainment: for instance, explore the Mong Kok markets in the morning and relax on the sand in the afternoon. 🌅 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 sands — perfect for long walks, barbecues, or kite flying on a windy day. It’s divided into two parts: - Lower (more lively); - Upper (more 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 suitable for surfing — all in a cozy fishing village.

It’s the largest beach in the area, ideal for swimming, picnics, or paddleboarding in shallow waters. 🚖 How to get 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, stunning views, and cocktails right by the shore — all against a backdrop of skyscrapers. 🚖 How to get there: Buses 6/6A/6X from Exchange Square (Central, 20–30 minutes). Hong Kong’s beaches are the perfect way to recharge any time of the year: city vibes at dawn and salty air by noon.
