Introduction
Shek O is a beach-side village located on the south-eastern part of Hong Kong Island. The name Shek O literally means "rocky bay" and the entire area is a peninsula facing the South China Sea. Shek O Beach is probably one of the most popular, and scenic beaches on Hong Kong Island. The fact it’s on the island makes it easy to access and Shek O has a wide selection of outdoor dining restaurants. It is often the first beach that anyone new to Hong Kong visits. From here you can glimpse the other side of Hong Kong, the side without skyscrapers.

Shek O is a peninsula on the south coast of Hong Kong Island. Shek O is very popular recently. Every two or three steps visitors will find the village houses and high-end villas located in it. The natural landscape here is very majestic, in addition to beautiful beaches, a granite entrance to the east bank, and refreshing ridge paths. Longji is a very exciting mountain ridge path, along with the beautiful scenery of the ocean and mountains.
Shek O, the garden behind Hong Kong Island, in the middle of which is facing the sea and beautiful scenery, the big and small two beaches are sandy and clear, and the buildings there are very special, quite design, and more exotic. There are several long or short hiking trails, which can be chosen according to everyone's preferences and abilities, and each suits their style. Therefore, Shek O is really a good place for Hong Kong people and tourists to visit Hong Kong.
Not just the beach at Shek O but the dragons back treking boost up the place. You can see the entire shek o beach abg building nearby.
As much as i appreciate the buzz of town, the beaches and quaint villages in the New Territories, I always find the peace and serenity of Shek-o to be a fav spot to escape.
Shek O Beach is next to Dragon’s Back and Big Wave Bay, and is another scenic beach for your enjoyment. Its fair view and water has made it a popular spot, yet quieter due to its isolation. Body-boarding equipment can be hired from the stalls for those wanting to enjoy the wave. Shek O is also famous for rock-climbing for its rock cliffs in the area. It is also home for a public BBQ site and many restaurants, giving you another relaxing stay.
We really enjoyed the beautiful white sand, pristine beach, and the blue water of Shek O. We would/will definitely go back.
A nice beach town in Hong Kong. It takes a bit to get there since after getting to Shau Kei Wan station on the MTR train system, you will have to take the bus #9 to Shek O. Shek O beach is not too touristy so you can relax and enjoy the beach. They have umbrella rentals and BBQ rentals, as well as some places to eat near by. Not English friendly, but can manage.
