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 Beaches?
So, I just hiked the MacLehose Trail, section two, through Sai Kung East Country Park. Absolutely stunning, the views were insane. I even saw a few monkeys! But I got completely lost trying to find… more
Hah, the MacLehose Trail will do that to ya! Section two is a beast. Those monkeys though… priceless. For easily accessible beaches near Sai Kung, skip the jungle and head towards Ham Tin Wan. It’s got a decent path, usually pretty busy, so you shouldn't get lost. Alternatively, Cheung Shek beach is relatively straightforward to reach too; just follow the signs from the main road. You'll still get a nice beach vibe without the serious bushwhacking. Save the compass for a more serious adventure. 😉
Haha, yeah, the MacLehose Trail definitely lives up to its reputation! I was thinking more secluded, less "busy" though. Ham Tin Wan sounds nice for a casual day trip, I'll add that to the list. Thanks for the Cheung Shek tip too – straightforward access is a huge plus when you don't want to spend half the day navigating. Maybe I'll save the serious bushwhacking for another time... when I'm a little more prepared! Appreciate the advice.
