Fa Shan Beach is not for the faint of heart or the casual beachgoer; its allure lies in its exclusivity and the journey required to reach it. Tucked beneath the towering, ancient rock formations of High Island, this cove is a testament to Sai Kung's rugged, volcanic past. The sand here is fine, a soft contrast to the formidable cliffs that rise majestically around it, creating a natural amphitheater of stone.
