Stanley Main Beach — Attraction in Hong Kong

Stanley Main Beach is a public beach located in the southern district of Hong Kong Island. It is under the jurisdiction of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. It has changing rooms, shower facilities, etc. The beach is equipped with floating platforms and is stationed by lifeguards. Stanley Main Beach is the venue for the annual Sun Life Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships. It is held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is the busiest day at Stanley Main Beach, attracting foreign and local athletes to participate. It also attracts a lot of tourists to watch the dragon boat race and feel the festive atmosphere. In addition to beach attraction, Stanley Main Beach has a small burning field, which can be burned by the sea. Main Beach is close to Stanley Main Street, Stanley Market and Stanley Plaza. You can also shop and find restaurants after water sports activities. In addition, there are many frequent bus routes to and from Stanley, so transportation is...

It is a very nice beach about 30 to 35 minutes away from Tsim Tsam Shui. Take the bus No. 973 from Canton Road, it costs about 10 HK $ one way. You can also take bus No. 6 or 6X to get there, there are several bus stops around the city. You have always to leave at Stanley Village Road. From there it is a 5 minute walk to the beach. Just follow the pink signs, the way is very easy to find as you have only to go straight ahead without any turns. From December to February there are no life guards and there is no net which is supposed to prevent shark attacks therefore it is not allowed to swim there in this months. This was certainly why we were almost alone at the beach. It is very nice for taking a walk and to get great pictures. The toilets are open the whole year. The last bus from Stanley Village Road leave s, as far as I remember around 1 a.m. so you can get there also...

Decent beach, but one which rapidly gets crowded on holidays, so be sure to reserve places early. Sand quality is nice in the surf, but gradually deteriorates up the shore, and can be quite prickly especially on the North side of the bay (where the boats are). There are of course life guards and the other facilities that one would expect at a government beach, though at the moment at least, the changing rooms and toilets by the beach are all closed due to damage from the recent typhoon Mangkhut. Theres also a few barbecue spots by the beach, though these have also been damaged by the typhoon.

*I'd give it less than 4 stars at the moment because of all the closures, but 4 is what I'd give...
