There is so much more to discover beyond the skyline. Hong Kong is home to some incredible beaches, hiking trails and island escapes that feel worlds away from the city. One of our favourite areas is Sai Kung, often called the "back garden of Hong Kong." From almost anywhere in the city, simply take a taxi to Sai Kung Pier, where you can hop on a speedboat to explore some of Hong Kong's most beautiful beaches and islands. Our personal favourites include: Pak Lap Wan – a peaceful, lesser-known beach with crystal-clear water. Millionaire's Beach – one of Sai Kung's most accessible and scenic beaches. Ham Tin Wan – a stunning stretch of sand Tai Long Wan – famous for its dramatic coastline, turquoise water and hiking trails. Sai Wan Beach – a beautiful beach popular with surfers and nature lovers. Whether you're after a relaxing beach day, a seafood lunch by the water, or an adventure exploring Hong Kong's coastline, Sai Kung is one of the best day trips you can take.
