Shek O is a seaside village at the southeastern tip of Hong Kong Island. Shek O Beach has fine sand, and many families hold barbecues there on weekends. The colorful village houses and alleys have been used as film locations. A path over a small bridge leads to Shek O Peninsula, where you can see sea-eroded rock formations. It can be combined with the Dragon's Back hike: after finishing the trail, walk or take a bus from Big Wave Bay to Shek O. Admission is free. Take bus 9 from Shau Kei Wan MTR Station for about 30 minutes.
