EASY Hike to Half Moon Bay & SWIM

Let’s catch this precious chance coming Sunday to stretch ourselves. We’ll start a very short hike from Kiu Tsui to Sharp Island in Sai Kung, then hike another 2k to aquamarine Hap Mun Beach for swimming. Each participant please prepare about $50 cash for your to-&-fro boat fee & other amount (eg.$100) for buying your own refreshments respectively. Add more if going for dinner too (cash only $280 /+).

Before we hike to splendid Hap Mun Beach / Half Moon Beach, we may walk on Sharp Island Sand Levee if it appears by low tide. This tombolo connects Kiu Tsui and Sharp Island, a path to UNESCO Geopark where local famous bread-like “Pineapple-bun” boulders, & other volcanic rocks of the Cretaceous period are waiting for our admiration.

We then hike 2K to Hap Mun Beach or namely Half Moon Beach for rest and swimming. There are such marvelous views at the top of 87m hill as impressive landscape of Kau Sai Wan, Shatter Island and Clear Water Bay.

There is a store at the Half Moon Beach for refreshments (snacks and instant noodles). Let’s share costs of renting beach-umbrellas ($100 deposit & $100 each for whole day) if necessary. We shall leave the beach by 5pm and will have dinner at a decent restaurant (our canteen 🤭).
