Hap Mun Bay Beach
Sharp Island
Taking the name of “Half Moon Bay” in Chinese, this beach is located just off the coast of Sai Kung on Hong Kong’s smallest island country park, Sharp Island. The water here has been given a Grade 1 quality, making it the cleanest water in Hong Kong and ideal for a dip. As part of the Geopark, the area is home to volcanic rock formations that have been referred to as “pineapple bun rocks” due to their similar appearance to the iconic Hong Kong snack. The island also has a range of services including kiosks, toilets and barbecue pits.
How to get there: Take a sampan or kaito from Sai Kung Town pier, the journey should take around 15 minutes. Prices and frequency vary depending on the season, but it shouldn’t be much more than $40 for a return ticket.
