St. Stephen's Beach

St. Stephen's Beach, Beach in Southern District, Hong Kong.

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.

On 25 December 1941, St. Stephen's Beach was the main battleground between British and Japanese forces. During the occupation, it served as an execution ground; on 29 October 1943, 32 people including Hong Kong's Defence Secretary John Fraser were executed here. New beach facilities opened on 26 August 1966, with changing rooms, toilets, showers, a tuck shop, a catamaran store, a first aid post, and a rebuilt pier.

The beach takes its name from nearby St. Stephen's College and its preparatory school. Its barbecue pits and picnic area, part of facilities opened in 1966, remain a setting for outdoor meals, and the beach is also a base for water sports such as catamaran sailing.

St. Stephen's Beach lies on the western shore of Stanley, opposite Stanley Back Beach and beside St. Stephen's College. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department manages it, and the Environmental Protection Department rates its water Grade 1. Facilities include 14 barbecue pits, changing rooms, showers, toilets, a tuck shop and a water sports centre.

During the Japanese occupation, this beach was used as an execution ground; on 29 October 1943, 32 people including Hong Kong's Defence Secretary John Fraser were brought here and killed, and their remains were never found after the war.
