WWII Pillbox: Short hike & Swim, Pak Shui Wun to Campsite Beach

To enjoy this hike-swim event in safety, we’ll take boat from Pak Sha Wan Pier in Sai Kung to secluded nature Pak Shui Wun(白水碗) , then we trek to turquoise Campsite Beach(露營灣) for swimming. Let’s explore WWII anti-invasion Pillbox機槍堡 (PB)107 & 108 if possible.

As they are hidden at the coast of Chuk Kok opposite to sea of Trio Bay, it means no shop or any replenishment support. Be fully equipped with hike & swim gear under the heat.

According to a study on the relics of the territory’s pillboxes (PBs) by The University of Hong Kong, “Hong Kong’s PBs are internationally significant due to their unique designs, and the accumulation of scientific knowledge about them, particularly in oral history, mapping, photography, and surveying. "

"They also hold value in academic and professional domains including dissemination, appreciation, and curatorship. Compared to other places, such as Singapore, Hong Kong’s work in this field is more advanced.”

Please bring two litres of sports drinks & your lunch box with snacks. No store or any replenishment support there.
Sandals or anti-slippery swim shoes will be useful if you wet your hiking shoes during a little coasteering.

There is NO lifeguard in Campsite Beach, swimming is for experienced swimmers only. Bring an umbrella or light tent for sheltering, if you just want to enjoy the rest on the sand!

By 5pm, we will take the booked boat back to either Pak Sha Wan Pier or Sai Kung Pier. Please prepare at least $60-$120 cash for two-way tickets.Let’s have dinner afterwards(cash $120+).🍺🍹
