Shek O

Shek O, located on the southeastern tip of Hong Kong Island, is a scenic peninsula known for its laid-back charm and natural beauty. With a sandy beach, dramatic cliffs, and a colorful village, it offers a refreshing contrast to the city’s bustle.

Shek O Beach stretches about 230 meters and features clean waters, BBQ pits, changing rooms, and lifeguard services during the swimming season. The nearby village retains its low-rise, pastel-colored houses and nostalgic shops, creating a cozy, local vibe.

Shek O Country Park surrounds the area, offering hiking trails like the famed Dragon’s Back—named one of Asia’s best urban hikes. The trail rewards hikers with panoramic views of Shek O, the golf course, and the South China Sea. For the adventurous, there are rock climbing spots and surfing at nearby Big Wave Bay.

Whether you're here to hike, swim, explore, or simply unwind, Shek O is a tranquil retreat where nature and culture harmonize.
