If you’re looking for a relaxing escape from Hong Kong’s fast-paced city life, Big Wave Bay is the perfect spot. Nestled on the eastern shore of Hong Kong Island, this secluded beach offers soft golden sand, rolling waves, and a laid-back surf culture. I spent the afternoon here, watching surfers ride the waves while enjoying the cool ocean breeze and a fresh coconut from a local beachside stall. It’s a great place for both beginners wanting to try surfing and those who simply want to unwind by the sea. Just a short hike from Dragon’s Back, Big Wave Bay is the ideal reward after an adventurous day outdoors!

Hong Kong Surfing spots
As the name suggests, Big Wave Bay is a favorite among Hong Kong’s surfer tribe. You can be prepared to share the swells with dozens of surfers on weekends
Located on the eastern end of Hong Kong Island, Big Wave Bay Beach is often a good alternative to Shek O Beach. Although not as commercial and large as Shek O Beach, Big Wave Bay surely has a different (surfer) vibe.

That little sun of a beach 🏖️😎
Big Wave Bay is on the Eastern side of Hong Kong Island. The beach here is popular with surfers who take advantage of the larger waves found here compared to the majority of beaches around the city.

The sand quality is pretty good so you can expect to see swimmers and sunbathers as well, especially on weekends and during summer months. Do note that beyond the surfers, Big Wave Bay beach is noticeably less crowded than the larger Shek O beach a couple of kilometres south.
There are basic beach facilities including public toilets, changing rooms, BBQ spots and a few cafes, shops and convenient stores in the area. There is also an important ancient rock carving just past the Lifeguard Station 2 that is estimated to be around 3000 years old. It is worth having a look when visiting Big Wave Bay.
To visit Big Wave Bay Beach, you can take Bus 9 from Shau Kei Wan bus terminus just outside the MTR Station. Buses go to Shek O but some make calls at Big Wave Bay as well. Do check before boarding. You can also take the red minibus (van) between Shau Kei Wan to Shek O, which all make the detour up to Big Wave Bay.
Alternatively, you can hike into the Big Wave Bay Beach area by way of trails leaving from the Chai Wan and Siu Sai Wan area like the Leaping Dragon Trail. You can also combine a visit here with the famous Dragon's Back hike nearby in the Shek O Country Park.
