Tai Long Wan
大浪湾(西贡)
Four connected bays, often called Hong Kong's most beautiful beaches. They can only be reached on foot and form the highlight of Section 2 of the MacLehose Trail.
Tai Long Wan lies in Sai Kung East Country Park and consists of four beaches: Sai Wan, Ham Tin Wan, Tai Wan and Tung Wan. The sand is fine and white, the water is clear, and the bays are backed by Sharp Peak. A common route starts in Sai Kung Town, where you take a minibus to Sai Wan Pavilion. From there it is about an hour's walk to Sai Wan, and then you follow the MacLehose Trail to Ham Tin Wan and Tai Wan. The whole walk takes about 3 to 4 hours. You can eat at a shop in Ham Tin Wan. For the return, you can take a speedboat from Chek Keng back to Wong Shek Pier. The waves can be large and there are rip currents, so be careful when swimming. There are no lifeguards on these beaches.
