Big Wave Bay Beach
Hong Kong Island’s best-known surf beach and a must-have for search demand.
Cape D’Aguilar Beach
Remote rocky beach area near the cape, best known for dramatic coastal setting rather than facilities.
Hok Tsui Beach
Remote Cape D’Aguilar shoreline beach area with very low mainstream visibility.
Island Bay Beach
Small south-coast cove near Cape D’Aguilar with local discovery value.
Lan Nai Wan Beach
Tiny east-side cove near the Shek O headland that generic maps often underrepresent.
Ng Fan Chau Beach
Rocky coastal pocket off the Big Wave Bay side, useful for a richer local beach map layer.

Small rugged shoreline beach pocket below Pottinger Peak, more discovery point than resort beach.
Rocky Bay Beach
Small south-facing cove near Shek O that adds useful local depth beyond the main beach.
Shek O Back Beach
Small backshore cove area distinct from the main public beach and useful for hidden-beach coverage.
Shek O Beach
Classic Hong Kong Island beach with village access and one of the city’s strongest day-trip reputations.
Shek O Headland Cove
Small named-by-location cove around the Shek O headland, included for local discovery coverage.
Tai Tau Chau Beach
Small island-side beach area at Shek O Headland, useful for avoiding duplication with Shek O Beach.

Quiet cove between Shek O and Cape D'Aguilar with strong local discovery value.
