Download a good offline map app before you go – something with detailed trail maps of Sai Kung East Country Park. Offline's key there, signal's patchy in some areas. Also, consider bringing a compass and learning some basic compass navigation. It's surprisingly helpful. Don't just rely on your phone's GPS; it can be unreliable. And maybe even a small, lightweight first aid kit; better safe than sorry. Planning your route beforehand, and telling someone where you're going and when you expect to be back, is always smart too. Enjoy those trails!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
