Repulse Bay
浅水湾
Hong Kong Island's most famous beach, a crescent of sand backed by luxury homes. The Tin Hau and Kwun Yam statues of Chin Hai Lau Park stand facing the sea.
Repulse Bay is one of Hong Kong's most popular swimming beaches, with gentle sand, good water quality, lifeguards and changing rooms. The swimming season runs from May to October. At the eastern end of the beach, Chin Hai Lau Park has giant statues of Tin Hau and Kwun Yam and a Longevity Bridge. On the western side, The Verandah, the former site of the Repulse Bay Hotel, is a good place for afternoon tea. The beach is free. From Central's Exchange Square, take bus 6, 6A, 6X or 260 for about 30 minutes, with scenic hillside sea views along the way. It can be combined with Stanley and Ocean Park.
