[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Sharp Island (Updated Oct)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Sharp Island, the smallest outlying island country park in Hong Kong, is located east of Sai Kung and west of Kau Sai Chau. If you depart from Sai Kung Pier, it will take about 10 minutes to arrive by ferry. Sharp Island has a natural beach, magnificent geological wonders, and is surrounded by islands, reefs and mountains. The scenery is intoxicating and it is also a great place for snorkeling. There are two beaches on Sharp Island. Sharp Island Beach stretches from north to west, while Xiamen Bay Beach is located on the south side of the island. This half-sand, half-rock beach has endless blue sky and blue sea, making it perfect for swimming or sunbathing. Sharp Island has a unique landscape. When the tide is low, a natural sand and gravel embankment connecting Sharp Island to Sharp Island appears at the west end of the island - the Island Linking Sandbar. You can stroll along this narrow corridor in the middle of the sea and walk to the small lighthouse at the end. There are various strange rocks along the way. It is the Hong Kong version of Paradise Road and is great for taking photos. #HongKongTourism #Sai Kung #Sharp Island

The hiking route I will introduce today is a very simple route suitable for men, women and children. Not only can you enjoy the unbeatable sea views on both sides of the mountain road, but you can also visit two of the most famous islands closest to Sai Kung at once - Sharp Island and hike to Half Moon Bay (also called Xiamen Bay). 🌟🌟🌟 First, take the street ferry to Sai Kung Public Pier to reach Sharp Island. After getting off the boat, walk along the stone path next to the beach to the end, then turn left to the mountain path stairs (there is a small artwork next to the stairs, a volcano that sprays pineapple buns) 😂. Start hiking from here, and you can see some very thoughtful works of art along the way, which are very delicate and cute. (Everyone remember to take care of them! They are the hard work of others. 😄) The sea is with you all the way, including Kau Sai Chau Golf Course, Liandao Sand Bar, Yantianzi, and the terminal, Half Moon Bay with clear water and fine sand. When you arrive at Half Moon Bay, you can sit on the white beach, enjoy the sunshine and the beach, take a good rest and fully charge your battery before returning! 🌟🌟🌟 🚢⛵️Transportation: From various districts to Sai Kung Public Pier - Take the Street Ferry - Sharp Island or Half Moon Bay Sharp Island round trip ticket: HKD $30 Half Moon Bay round trip ticket: HKD $40 🌟🌟Remember to tell the boatman if you walk to Half Moon Bay after landing on Sharp Island, because the ticket price is different. You can choose from different boat operators: Maoji, Feipo, Lanqi, Hongqi, Shengji. (Most boats run every 30 minutes, and some may have to wait for all boats to depart.) The last boat usually leaves at 18:00 or 18:30 (you can take a picture of the last boat time of the day before departure to avoid missing it.) If you miss the boat you chose and don't want to wait for the next one, you can take a boat with a different boat operator, but you need to pay the return fare of the other boat operator. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Everyone has the responsibility to protect the natural environment. Don't litter. Take your own trash away. Don't destroy nature. Don't salvage or take away marine life. Good citizens must do this😇. #weekendplace #qiaotsui island #halfmoonbay #saigonplace

Where did everyone go even during the holidays? Yesterday, as soon as we arrived in Sai Kung, it started to rain heavily, but when the tide receded in the afternoon, we impromptu went to Chau Tsui Island, Lian Island, Sha Chau, to see the stones to see the sea. A rain is also very relaxing This thunderstorm weather really feels like Thailand. Just think of yourself as going island hopping How to get there? Sai Kung Pier has a boat owner $30 round trip to Bridge Island Boat every half hour Remember to check the tide time. It is really an oasis in the bustling city, which makes people feel relaxed and happy✨ #globaltravel

Many people say that Hong Kong's seawater is like mung bean soup. Today, I saw that the visibility of the seabed is over ten meters. There are many kinds of aquatic life, including many kinds of corals, clown fish, manta rays, crabs, etc. However, I hope that everyone who comes to see such a beautiful seabed will only use their eyes to see it. Do not take away any living or dead creatures, and do not trample on the corals. The photos are not retouched.

There are many fresh catch restaurants near the pier, as well as hipster cafes and snack shops. We recommend "Loaf on" and "Sheng Kee Seafood" in Sai Kung Old Street - fried squid and boiled shrimp are super fresh and sweet. 🚗Transportation guide From the city MTR to Diamond Hill/Rainbow Station, then transfer to a minibus directly to Sai Kung. Remember to leave early on the return trip. There will be traffic jams when you get off the boat back to the city on holidays. Other tips: — There are no large shops/restaurants on Bridge Island.

In-Depth Hong Kong Tour ~ Hiking on Kiu Tsui Island What is an in-depth tour? I think it’s a place that ordinary tourists don’t usually visit, but locals find it very beautiful and worth going to. For an in-depth Hong Kong tour, I would recommend Kiu Tsui Island, which is only a 15-minute boat ride from Sai Kung Pier. When the tide is low, you can see the beautiful Angel Road sandbar connecting the islands of Sai Kung. When the tide is high, it looks like two separate places. When the tide is low, you can walk from one side to the other. Hiking allows you to enjoy the sea view from a high vantage point, with green mountains and clear waters, and there aren’t many people, making it very comfortable and relaxing. You can also swim at Half Moon Bay, a beautiful beach in Sai Kung. Since it’s on the outer edge of Sai Kung, the water is definitely clear and the sand is fine.

Kiu Tsui Island is located in the Sai Kung waters of eastern Hong Kong, famous for its crystal-clear waters, lush forests, and unspoiled natural beauty. Boarding the boat at Sai Kung pier, enjoying the scenery on the boat felt like entering a secluded paradise. The water was so clear you could see the bottom, with small fish occasionally swimming by, making you want to jump in immediately. The island has two piers, Kiu Tsui Island and Half Moon Bay. We landed at Half Moon Bay. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the sea showed a dreamy turquoise color, and the distant hills were covered with dense green trees, refreshing the mind. The coastal rocks and fine sand formed a peaceful seaside painting, with a few red balloons floating in the air, adding a lively touch. Upon arrival at the shore, there was a small beach with simple facilities and a few visitors nearby. One or two buoys floated on the distant sea, creating an especially tranquil scene. Although the beach was not large, its pristine environment, far from the city's hustle and bustle, was perfect for travelers wanting to relax and enjoy nature. Following the hiking trail (about an hour), the view from the top revealed a broader perspective. From the high vantage point, Kiu Tsui Island was surrounded by blue-green waters, with small islands and continuous mountain ranges in the distance. The fresh air opened up the heart and mind. Finally, on the other side of Kiu Tsui Island, we experienced the delicate sandy beach and gently lapping waves up close. The distant mountain shadows and boats added a poetic touch to the journey. This trip to Kiu Tsui Island, though not long, was full of surprises and satisfaction. Whether it was the clear water, dense forest, or peaceful atmosphere, it made me feel the wonder of nature.

When summer arrives, the glass sea at Sai Kung Kiu Tsui Island is stunningly beautiful! Just a 10-minute ferry ride away, no reservation needed, and the round trip is only $30—such a great deal! Enjoy hiking, snorkeling, and photo ops all in one trip! 📍Must-try route: After getting off the boat, head to Kiu Tsui Beach on the left side of the pier. The sand is fine and the water shallow, perfect for kids! Then hike 500 meters along the geological trail, where you can see volcanic breccia and rhyolite, and snap photos of the sandbar connecting the islands and the giant "Pineapple Bun" rock! Now for the snorkeling highlight! Beyond the sandbar, the water is very calm, so beginners don’t need to worry. Swim out 20 meters to see the cross peony coral group, and along the shore, there are brain corals and pillar corals. Colorful fish swimming around is super soothing! 🚍Transportation Tips: Buses and minibuses run directly to Sai Kung Pier from Sha Tin, Diamond Hill, Choi Hung, and Hang Hau—super convenient! ⚠️Friendly Reminder: Please take your trash with you and don’t kick the coral when you’re in the water! Quickly gather your friends and snorkeling gear, and enjoy the great weather for a refreshing dip!

It’s located in sai kung, pet friendly beach. You can take a sampan going to the area. And the sampan ride is very cheap. #familytravel #seascapes #travel #thingstodo #seascapes #myitinerary

Sai Kung Sharp Island is really a place where I spend half of the summer. There is no way I don't like it. There is a reason why Sharp Island has become a popular tourist attraction. There is not only the historic Pineapple Rock, but also the hidden road after low tide; it is not only the best place to play canoe, but also a diving paradise. Sharp Island is very close to the center of Sai Kung. It only takes about 10-15 minutes to take the street ferry from the pier to reach it. Although its beach is not made of fine sand and has many oyster shells, it is really beautiful to take pictures at a certain location. (I have a lot of photos of it in spring, summer, autumn and winter on my phone. 🙈) 🌟🌟🌟 If you want to take a picture of the entire Hidden Road, in addition to using a drone, you can actually walk a few more steps and take pictures from different angles. (Of course, you need to wait until the tide goes out.) 🌟 After getting off the boat, walk along the cement road beside the beach (without going down the beach) until you reach the huge rocks on the beach, and you can see the whole road from a distance. 🌟 The sea surface you can see from the giant rock beach is black. Those are corals🪸. You can snorkel🤿 and see many different kinds of fish. It is very beautiful. I come here many times every year to snorkel🤿. 🌟🌟🌟 If you want to go snorkeling by yourself, you need to prepare a lot of equipment (life jackets, diving goggles, diving suits, diving shoes, gloves, etc.). You need to be accompanied by someone with certain experience. Do not go alone. And sometimes there are very strong winds and waves, so it depends on the weather, location and people. Avoid going to the sea when there are strong winds and waves to avoid accidents. 🌟🌟🌟 There are big waves near the coral reefs of Sharp Island most of the time. Sometimes you will be washed to the rocks and scratched by oyster shells. It is better to wear a long-sleeved diving suit. Be careful⚠️. 🌟🌟🌟 Corals are home to different species of corals, so please do not destroy or trample them. Protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility! Take your own trash away. Transportation: 🚢 From various districts to Sai Kung Public Pier Take the ferry from Sai Kung Public Pier to Sharp Island. There are different boat companies at Sai Kung Pier, including Fat Po, Cat Kee, Blue Flag, Red Flag, Sang Kee, etc. There is a boat every 30 minutes or so. Ticket price: Sai Kung Pier - Sharp Island HKD: $30 round trip (If you miss a boat or wait too long, you can also take a different boat, but you only need to pay an additional $20 to the boatman.) 🌟Remember to ask the boatman about the last boat schedule of the day before departure. Usually between 18:00-18:30. There are convenience stores, bathrooms and toilets on Sharp Island, so you can go there after playing in the water. On weekdays, there are fewer people and no need to queue for any equipment. There will be a lot of people during the holidays! #weekendplace #hongkongplace #saigon #saigon #sharpsea #divingspot #HongKongWaterSports

Beautiful things are always hard to come by. Pretty places are always hard to reach. But it’s okay, as long as your heart is strong enough and your stamina is sufficient, there’s no place you can’t get to. (Of course, personally, I believe safety should always come first.) This special heart-shaped pool is located between Kiu Tsui Island and Half Moon Bay. Because of its uniqueness, it has attracted many people to come and explore. Some come to check in, some come to experience a private natural pool here.😆 (Nature lovers and enthusiasts definitely belong to the latter.) Getting here is not easy; it requires enough physical strength, and since sea activities carry certain risks, safety measures must be taken to ensure safety first. How to get there: 1: From Sai Kung Pier, walk along the coast to the kayak rental shop at the end, rent a kayak🛶, paddle to Kiu Tsui Island, then paddle from the left side of Pineapple Stone Beach on Kiu Tsui Island (opposite direction to Sai Kung) to the heart-shaped lake. ‼️ It’s best to have an experienced person accompany you when kayaking; do not go alone. Kayak rental prices: Single kayak (weekday) $150 Double kayak (weekday) $250 Single kayak (weekend/holiday) $200 Double kayak (weekend/holiday) $300 2: You can bring your own inflatable rubber boat, take a boat to Kiu Tsui Island, and then start from there. (We brought our own rubber boat and started from Kiu Tsui Island.) This requires more equipment.🙈 Occasionally, when taking a boat to Half Moon Bay, I’ve seen many people climbing along the rocks from Half Moon Bay to the heart-shaped pool. Some lucky ones have successfully reached it. Personally, I strongly advise against this. Some sections may require entering the sea, and if you are not familiar with swimming or don’t know the sea depth, it’s very dangerous. Please think carefully before setting off and act within your limits. 🚢🚢🚢 Transportation to Kiu Tsui Island and Half Moon Bay: From Sai Kung Pier, take a ferry or speedboat to "Kiu Tsui Island" or "Half Moon Bay." There are many boat operators to choose from; you can pick whichever fits your schedule. Most boats run about every 30 minutes, with prices around $30–$50 (depending on where you return from, prices vary). If you miss the boat you bought a ticket for, you can also take other operators’ boats back to Sai Kung by paying an extra $20. Before boarding, you can ask the boat operator or take a photo of the last boat schedule to avoid missing the last trip. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ——— Safety First‼️ The "Heart-Shaped Pool" is not a planned tourist spot; please act within your ability and avoid unnecessary risks just for the sake of checking in. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ——— The most important point for every trip🩵 Protecting nature is everyone’s responsibility. Please keep the environment clean and take your own trash with you. #SaiKung #HongKongGoodPlaces #WeekendGetaway #KiuTsuiIsland #HalfMoonBayHeartShapedPool #HongKongWaterActivities

#HongKongHikingOutdoors Hong Kong really has a lot of different hiking trails, and even the beginner ones can be quite challenging. This time, I’m introducing the trail from Kiu Tsui Island to Half Moon Bay Beach. If you walk quickly, you can finish it within an hour. The scenery along the way is beautiful, with views of Hong Kong’s sea and various mountains. Personally, I think hiking from Kiu Tsui to Half Moon Bay is more strenuous, while going from Half Moon Bay back to Kiu Tsui is easier with fewer stairs, making it perfect for beginner hikers. Also, there are spots at Half Moon Bay for picnics or barbecues, which is great for those who love hiking and outdoor activities. Transportation: Take a bus to Sai Kung Pier, then transfer to a small boat to Half Moon Bay/Kiu Tsui Island.

Escape the city crowds during your Hong Kong vacation and explore a different side of Hong Kong's waters. The sea in Sai Kung, Hong Kong, is breathtakingly beautiful from every angle. There really is a blue glass sea; if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was abroad. It's truly unbelievably stunning. Location: Sharp Island, Sai Kung 🚤 Transportation: Purchase round-trip tickets at Sai Kung Pier for HK$30 (Remember to keep your ticket stub for the return trip). Hike the Long Ke Wan Country Trail, where you can enjoy westward views of High Junk Peak, southward views of Clear Water Bay, and eastward views of Green Egg Island. It's known as Hong Kong's mini-Bali. Location: Clear Water Bay Country Park 🚌 Transportation: Take the MTR to Tseung Kwan O Station and then bus 103M, getting off at Tai Au Mun. 💚 Please take your trash with you. Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. 🙇🏾‍♀️🙏 Finally, on your way back to the city center, you can stop by PopCorn/The LOHAS in Tseung Kwan O to enjoy a perfect day of dining, shopping, and entertainment. Location: It's right at Exit C of Tseung Kwan O MTR Station. 🛍️Tips: Show your passport/Entry-Exit Permit for Hong Kong and Macau at the service desk to prove your tourist status, and you'll receive a list of discounts and various promo codes that can be used at PopCorn mall! PopCorn mall is huge, with a wide range of brands. I recommend Hashtag B, which has long queues and has now opened in Tseung Kwan O. How can you not try their super popular egg tarts 🥧 and coffee pineapple buns? 🤩

Sai Kung's Sharp Island is very close to Sai Kung, and only takes about 10 minutes by boat, which is very convenient. Everyone can come to Sharp Island with different purposes, such as seeing the pineapple rock baptized by nature, the hidden road, watching the sea, watching the sunset, snorkeling🤿, or even schools bring students to explain the origin of pineapple rock. (I will introduce his other special features one by one later). This time I will mainly talk about the sunset at Sharp Island.🌅 Although this island is very close to the center of Sai Kung, the beach is not particularly large and there are many rocks, but the selling point of this island is the rocks 🪨, and the most important thing that is worth visiting is its sunset. I am lucky every time. The weather is good many times. Occasionally, I will see an old man on the island who often writes beautiful words and exquisite sand sculptures. Tourists who see it are reluctant to destroy it, so it is preserved on the island as one of the characteristics. In order to watch the sunset, I waited until the afternoon when other activities were completed before taking the boat. Sitting on the boat, feeling the sea breeze and watching the sunset, you can often see the "Jesus light" radiating from the sun😆. It's perfect, really perfect.🧡 Transportation: 🚢⛵️ From various districts to Sai Kung Public Pier 🌟🌟🌟Take the ferry from Sai Kung Public Pier to Sharp Island. There are several different boat companies at the pier, including Fatty, Cat's, Blue Flag, Red Flag, and Sheng's. There is a boat every 30 minutes. 🎫Ticket price: Sai Kung Pier - Sharp Island HKD $30 round trip (If you miss a boat or wait too long, you can also take a different boat. Just pay an additional $20 for the return ticket to the other boat operator.) There are many boats to nearby islands at Sai Kung Public Pier. You can choose where to get off and where to return. The price is slightly different. You can ask the boat staff. There are convenience stores, bathrooms and toilets on Sharp Island, so you can go there after playing in the water. But you may have to queue when there are many people, and the toilets are not so clean. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Also remember the last boat, which is usually at 18:00 or 18:30 (you can take a photo of the last boat schedule of the day before departure.) There are really not many people on weekdays. The water on the island is clear and there are few people. It is very comfortable. I usually choose to go back on the boat at 5:30pm or 6pm, because that way I can see my favorite sunset😇😇 #Sai Kung Places to Go #Sharp Island #Weekend Places to Go

Sharp Island is a stunning place in Hong Kong to watch the sunset. During high tide, the island and the pier become two separate small islands. During low tide, a stone path emerges, connecting the two sides. Therefore, the best time to walk is when the tide is slightly rising, and you should leave quickly during low tide. It is recommended to pay attention to the tide times when visiting Sharp Island. Transportation: - You can take a ferry from Sai Kung Pier (about one ferry every 30 minutes), with prices ranging from $30 to $50.

best unexpected island trip with kids

#spring2024 Most Hong Kong people are familiar with Sharp Island because the islands and sandbanks there are very attractive during the epidemic. However, fewer people go to Half Moon Bay, and the line is suspended in winter. It costs NT$30 to take a boat from Sai Kung to Sharp Island and NT$40 to take a boat to Half Moon Bay. You can also hike from Qiaozui to Half Moon Bay, which takes about an hour and is not difficult. Most boats in Half Moon Bay board at 9:30 am every hour, so you should arrive at the dock early to wait. It is very sunny in summer without any shade. The small slope leading to Houtan is full of floating sand and gravel, so you need to be very careful. The rocks on the shore are less visited than those on the west side of the bridge mouth, so they are more unstable and you need to be more careful. Houtan is not suitable for swimming alone. If you don’t wear a snorkel, you will easily be cut by the rocks and corals on the bottom of the water, and it will also damage the corals.
