St. Stephen's Beach

St. Stephen's Beach is a sandy beach in Southern District with facilities designed for families and groups. It offers changing rooms, showers, fourteen barbecue pits, toilets, and a refreshment area all located near the waterfront.

The Urban Council developed the current facilities at this location in 1966, establishing it as an accessible destination. The addition of these amenities transformed the area into an organized public beach that could accommodate more visitors.

The beach serves as a popular meeting spot where families gather to swim, play in the water, and cook together at the public barbecue areas. You will notice locals enjoying meals prepared outdoors and children playing along the shore during weekends and holidays.

Lifeguards are on duty from April through October, with shorter shifts on weekdays compared to weekends. Plan your visit during these months if you want supervision on the beach.

The water at this location has received a top quality rating from environmental authorities. This recognition is noteworthy because water quality can be a concern at many Hong Kong beaches.
