Hac Sa Beach

Praia de Hac Sá

A black-sand beach in southeastern Coloane. Its dark colour comes from basalt minerals in the sand, and beside it is the long-standing Portuguese restaurant Fernando's.

Hac Sa Beach is Macao's largest natural beach, about 1.35 kilometres long, with blackish-brown sand. Swimming is allowed in summer, with lifeguards on duty. Next door, Hac Sa Park has barbecue areas, a swimming pool and sports courts. The beachside Fernando's restaurant is famous for Portuguese grilled sardines and seafood rice, and it has long queues on weekends. Free to visit. Buses 15, 21A, 25 and 26A serve the beach, and a taxi from Coloane Village takes about 10 minutes. The water is affected by the Pearl River and is murky, so it's better for a stroll and relaxation than for diving.
