Tap Mun
塔门
A small island off the coast of Sai Kung, where wide grassy slopes, strange rock formations and grazing cattle make a distinctive landscape. It is a popular spot for camping and sea views.
Tap Mun, also known as Grass Island, lies in the open sea northeast of Sai Kung. Ferries leave from Ma Liu Shui or Wong Shek Pier. The island has a fishing village, a Tin Hau Temple and one of Hong Kong's largest seafood drying yards. On the grassy slopes to the east you will find stacked rocks and cattle, with views across Tathong Channel and Tolo Harbour. Many people camp on the grass and watch the sunrise. Ferry services are limited, so check the last boat time, especially on weekends. There are few supplies on the island, so please carry your rubbish out with you.
