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 in the night.

A nice beach that could be reached easily by public transportation. Car park was relatively small. Better not drive to the area. There were some restaurants in the village and one cafe on the beach. Convenient store and supermarket were near the bus stop. Shops selling souvenirs, clothes and other commodities were just around the village area. There was a barbeque area at the side of the beach but usually occupied by maids working in Hong Kong. Free bathing area. St. Stephen bay was minutes away and less crowded. Meantime, the beach was closed due to typhoon mess not yet cleared.

Obviously this is not Kuta beach, but as far as city beaches go this is a very nice one. It is kept in very clean condition, the water is also clean, there are facilities for changing, showers and toilets are also in good condition. Bring your own drinks and food usually works out the best. The only issue with this beach, as with Stanley in general, is getting to and from on the weekends. Parking is scarce, busses run but tend to have longish wait times, and taxis are hit and miss.

Quiet presence and atmosphere at most of the times, relatively calm and really clean waters considering it’s in Hong Kong. The sand is soft tho it’s quite dangerous to walk on the upper part of the beach. The twigs and rubbish could easily cut your soles if you don’t pay attention. It’s a nice place to whilst away a Saturday for a family, but don’t let the kids run too far!😂

Beautiful beach. Water was crystal clear at that time we were there. Rented kayaks to go all around and it was amazing. Explore the rocky waterline, the swamp and the small little caves around. Just happened that there was a dragon boat competition going on. It was spectacular! When we got back to the beach at noon, the crowd was... very extremely crowded...

Stanley Beach is something of an iconic destination for HK locals on a weekend, for tourists on day trips or tours and for school & community groups. This means that while it's a lovely spot for locals, it does tend to get a little busy on weekends. A popular place for swimming, dragon boating, windsurfing, paddle boarding and other water sports.
