Tai Long Sai Wan
Tai Long Sai Wan Sai is located at the east of Sai Kung and made up of four beaches (Sai Wan, Ham Tin, Grand Bay and East Bay). Its other name “Big Wave Bay” came from the fact that it’s affected by strong winds and waves during all four seasons. Among the four beaches, the longest bay “Grand bay” and Ham Tin Wan are the most famous.
