Tung Wan, Cheung Chau

Tung Wan is a beach on Cheung Chau Island with a wide expanse of sand facing east, framed by rocky outcrops at both ends. The shoreline stretches roughly 1.5 kilometers and serves as the island's main swimming area.

The beach was developed in the 1970s when the Hong Kong government added facilities for water recreation and swimming. These improvements turned it into a popular destination for swimmers from across the city.

The beach is deeply rooted in the island's maritime life and draws both locals and visitors who explore traditional fishing communities and local eateries nearby. The waterfront promenade connects the sand with temples and religious sites that reveal how island residents have always depended on the sea.

The beach has changing rooms, showers, lifeguard supervision, and a children's playground all accessible directly from Tung Wan Road. On busy weekends, visiting in the morning helps avoid crowds and makes finding space more comfortable.

The North Lookout Pavilion rises above the beach, offering a vantage point that reveals views of Aberdeen Island and Lamma Island across the water. From this elevated spot, visitors can watch boats moving between the islands and the broader harbor.
