[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Hap Mun Bay Beach (Updated Jul)

Xiamen Bay, also known as Half Moon Bay because of its crescent-shaped beach. We took a boat from Saigon Pier to Xiamen Bay. There were many shipping companies at the pier. Remember to compare the prices. Some were 50 yuan round trip, and some were 40 yuan round trip. Just choose the cheaper one because the types of boats and routes are the same. We originally planned to only go to Xiamen Bay🏖️ for fun that day. When we were on the boat, we met a very nice couple who told us that we could walk from Xiamen Bay along the hiking trail to the beach of Sharp Island🏝️. The journey took an hour and a half. The road conditions were very friendly to novice hikers. The scenery along the way was very beautiful. On the return trip, we could also take a boat directly from Sharp Island to Sai Kung🫶🏻 When we arrived at Xiamen Bay, we were shocked by the blue sea and blue sky as soon as we got off the boat. This is the most beautiful bay I have ever seen in Hong Kong. The sea water 🌊 is like glass water. No wonder others say this is the Maldives of Hong Kong😍 Xiamen Bay has clear water and fine sand, making it a great place for snorkeling, swimming and sunbathing. There are lifeguards and snack kiosks on the beach to meet basic food and drink needs. There is also a barbecue area nearby 🍖, where you can bring your own food to grill 😋 Walk up the stairs with the "Qiaozui Beach" sign behind the snack kiosk for 15 minutes and you will reach a check-in point where you can overlook the entire Xiamen Bay coast. You can see the perfect bay that looks like a green gem! After checking in, you can continue walking along the path and go to Qiaozui Beach. If you don’t want to hike, you can also enjoy a happy time playing in the water in Xiamen Bay.

Xiamen Bay itself has a name called Half Moon Bay From Sai Kung, you can first take a boat to Bridge Tsui and then hike over There will be some stairs at the beginning of the hike More strenuous but then mostly down When you walk almost to the view across the sea when s You will feel that everything is worth it because it has a very open landscape🌴 A hill paired with sand and clear water 🌊 I day camp here from time to time in Half Moon Bay Jedi is a great place to go for jet ski/kayak 🫶🏽💕 When you leave if you don't want to work so hard you can take the boat directly So you don’t have to hike back to the original route🚶🚶🏔 #localtour #beach #saigon

For the first time, I discovered that Hong Kong has such beautiful water quality, not only the water is clear and the sand is fine, but you can also hike. In addition, even the bridge is very beautiful, snorkeling, canoeing, and swimming are excellent

The most beautiful beach, also known as Half Moon Bay, is located on the other side of Sharp Island. It takes about an hour to walk from Sharp Island to get there, or you can go directly to it from Sai Kung. The beach is not too large, but the environment is excellent, the water is clear, the sand is fine, and the wind and waves are not big. In addition to swimming, it is also suitable for canoeing and snorkeling activities. On the way back, you can choose to walk back to Sharp Island from the mountain road, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of sunrise and sunset.

Recently, Phuket Island in Thailand reopened, but there are many restrictions, if you do not want to go far to Thailand for a sunny beach, you can choose to go to the Hong Kong version of Phuket to stop the travel addiction first 😜, and the view is definitely not inferior to the real Phuket, it is today I want to introduce the Half Moon Bay 🤗 What's so attractive about Half Moon Bay😚? 1. Ice green glass water quality 🏝️ (Samsung Bay is the Top 5 most beautiful beaches in Hong Kong 🏖️, if you don't tell us, you may think the photo was taken abroad😄) 2. Snorkeling 🤿 (Snorkeling along the reef will find coral reefs, and you will find many Finding Nemo characters 🐠, and sometimes you will see a group of large fish that are a foot long swimming in front of you just a step away😃) 3. Hiking (Half Moon Bay is located in the bridge, if you don't want to go into the water, you can choose to take the mountain road to another beach on the island - Bridge Bay, and you can also see the pineapple bun 🪨) 怎么走？ You can just find a street ferry at Sai Kung Pier to get there, round trip is about $40 *Tips: Half Moon Bay is really a lot of people go 😅, may have to go a little earlier to "occupy the seat" Want to know more good things to do in Hong Kong?

#香港水上運動 Hong Kong Xiamen Bay is a great place for water activities. The water here is crystal clear and the beach is soft and white, making it a great place for swimming.

#beachtime UNESCO site status beach/island? Who says HK beaches are overcrowded and dull? Want a perfect beach day in Hong Kong with crystal clear waters but without the crowds? Sharp Island is a UNESCO site in Hong Kong and a HIDDEN gem that’s perfect for a chill day! The beach is one speedboat away from the town of Sai Kung, and is all about that laid-back vibe. The soft sand and clear blue water make it a great spot for sunbathing, swimming, or just hanging out with friends. The speedboat takes about 100HKD (12USD), but along the way you’d see villages, multiple islands, and rock formations! In my opinion, Hap Mun Bay reminds me of the crystal blue waters in southeast Asia! If you’re feeling sporty and adventurous, try kayaking or paddleboarding! But if you want to relax or explore, Ham Tin Beach has got you covered. Get your sunscreen and head over for a fun day in the sun

There are many islands in Hong Kong. Each island has its own little charm. This island is one of them, Hap Mun Bay Beach.

Xiamen Bay (Half Moon Bay) is a beach under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, with many swimmers on holidays; the rocky beach behind the beach is relatively quiet, and the clear water reflects Kau Sai Chau on the opposite bank, which is even more surprising. Half Moon Bay is known as the most beautiful beach in Hong Kong because its water quality has long been rated Grade One by the Environmental Protection Agency. The water in Half Moon Bay is so clear that you can almost see the bottom of the water from the floating platform. With a little imagination, going to Half Moon Bay is like going on vacation to Phuket or Bali! In the hot summer, there are two types of people in Xiamen Bay (Half Moon Bay): one is the swimmers who wear swimsuits and shorts and show off their bodies and muscles; the other is the hikers who wear long pants and hold umbrellas and do not want to expose their skin or be exposed to the sun. We are certainly the latter. Although I was dressed warmly, I still felt a little embarrassed in my strange clothes, so I quickly left the beach. There are many people on the beach of Xiamen Bay (Half Moon Bay), but the rocky beach on the other side is a different world. After the tour, we can go to the bridge head to explore.

Xiamen Bay is in a beautiful half-moon shape, so it is also called Half Moon Bay. It has recently become a very popular swimming beach because of its clear water and fine sand. It is so popular that you have to take a boat to get there. The round-trip fare is only 40 yuan per person, which is suitable for a family trip. #localtravel #hotsummerdestinations #hongkongdestinations

It is said that when the British landed on the island and asked the locals about the place name, the locals answered "Xiamen" in Cantonese. The British mistakenly thought it was "Half Moon". Later, the Chinese translation became "半月", so it is also known as Half Moon Bay. It takes about 20 minutes to get there by private ferry from Sai Kung Pier. It costs 40 dollars round trip, which is very cheap! Along the way, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of various islands. Xiamen Bay has clear water, fine sand and beautiful scenery. The holiday is very lively. Some people are swimming on the beach, some are lying on the sand to relax, and some are snorkeling in the nearby waters. There is a snack kiosk where you can fill your stomach, as well as facilities such as a barbecue area, changing rooms, toilets and a floating platform, which is very good.
