[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Sai Wan Beach (Updated Jun)

#springitinerary Just a short walk uphill from the beach, we discovered the Sai Wan Stargazing Site. This unique spot features curved benches designed for comfortable stargazing, offering a clear view of the night sky away from city lights. For those interested in water activities, local shops offer rentals for canoes and surfboards. However, as the beach isn't officially designated for swimming, caution is advised. #Hongkong #jammerstheexplorer

Maybe I have seen too many beautiful, clean and spectacular seas🌊, so I dare not add the name "Glass Sea" to any beach. It’s impossible that every sea you’ve been to is called the Glass Sea, right? Sai Wan, called "Glass Sea", is absolutely worthy of the name.🩵 The sea here can be photographed at its most beautiful even without color adjustment or a professional camera. Xiwan is one of the beaches on the second section of the Jinghao Pass. (Even if you don’t have the energy to hike, you can still reach it easily.) During the holidays, many tourists come here to play. Some are camping, some are surfing, some are playing in the sand, and some are walking... Under the clear sky, it is precious.🩵 I still remember the first time I set foot in Xiwan more than ten years ago. It was like being in a paradise, with clear water, fine sand, and no garbage at all. It really makes people admire from the bottom of their hearts. At that time, the Internet was not well developed, there were no mobile phones, no online media, no clocking in, and the feeling of truly enjoying nature will probably never go back! Today, Xiwan has more people, more tourists, more bustle, more convenience stores, and more garbage. 🩵🩵🩵 If you want to enjoy the beautiful nature, you should take good care of it, protect it, and take away your own trash. Only in this way can its beauty last. 🌟🌟🌟 The weather is hot, so be sure to wear sunscreen to prevent heat stroke. Sunscreen, a small fan, a sun hat, sunglasses, and a small bottle of water spray to cool down when it's hot. 🌟🌟🌟 Choose hiking, wear comfortable shoes, quick-drying clothes, and bring a change of clothes. 🌟🌟🌟 Sufficient water and appropriate amount of dry food 🌟🌟🌟 Do what you can, safety first. 🚶🚶🚶 Hiking routes: 🚶1: Sai Wan Pavilion - Chuitong'ao - Sai Wan - (Ham Tin Bay - Dalang'ao - Chek Keng - Beitan'ao) Total distance: 11 km, takes 3.5-5 hours transportation: 🚌: Take NR29 village bus from No. 16, Chan Man Street, Sai Kung (in front of McDonald's) to "Sai Wan Pavilion" and walk to Sai Wan. 🚕: Take a taxi to Sai Wan Pavilion and walk to Sai Wan (If you don’t have enough time or energy, you can return to Sai Wan Pavilion and take a taxi or village bus back to Sai Kung.) 🌟🌟🌟For more retreat routes, please refer to the previous articles on "Ham Tin Bay" for detailed explanations.

Sai wan is a beach in Sai Kung Peninsula, Hong Kong, it is also commonly known as Tai Long Sai Wan, as it is one of the four main beaches of Tai Long Wan. It came first in the Hong Kong Best 10 Scenic Sites Election in 2006. It is next to Ham Tin Village, which has a restaurant that rents out camping equipment and surf boards apart from serving dishes. There are several impressive beaches at Tai Long Bay in the Sai Kung East Country Park coastal area. These are amongst the most beautiful and isolated beaches you will find in Hong Kong. You'll need to allow some time to simply reach the beaches. Once you do you will rewarded with long stretches of smooth white sand, minimal rubbish and far fewer people than you will encounter at the beaches within reach of normal public transportation closer to the city. The water is clean and clear, makes for good surfing, swimming or other beach related activities with friends. The most convenient to reach is Sai Wan Beach where you will also find a small village, lagoon area, organic farming, public toilets and convenient shop for light snacks and drinks and a couple of beach cafes. There is a camping area with BBQ pits here as well for those who want to hike in and stay overnight. How to get there: The easiest way to Sai Wan Beach by foot is 2.2 km hike from Sai Wan Pavilion. There is a public bus (29R) that makes this journey from Sai Kung Village. Otherwise, you will pass through the beach as part of Stage 2 of the MacLehose Trail. It is 6.6 km from the trailhead at the High Island Reservoir East Dam. Boat rides can be arranged as well directly to/from Sai Kung Village.
