Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
I hiked the MacLehose Trail through Sai Kung East Country Park last month, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were insane, seriously. But I only saw a couple of the beaches mentioned on… more
Yeah, Sai Kung is awesome! Sharp Peak is insane. Totally worth the sweat. For quieter beaches, try heading further east past Ham Tin Wan. There are a few smaller, less-accessible coves tucked away – you'll probably need to scramble over some rocks, but it's worth it for the solitude. Also, check out the beaches around Long Ke Wan – they’re usually less crowded than the main ones. Snorkeling wise, the waters around those eastern coves can be pretty good, especially if you go during low tide. You'll find more marine life than at the popular spots. Pack a good picnic though, because amenities are pretty sparse.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
