Description
Rocky Bay Beach is a beach with large rock formations along the coastline in Southern District, Hong Kong. The water provides open views toward Tung Lung Chau across the sea.
History
The beach was closed in 1988 following environmental concerns about sewage discharge from Shek O Village and nearby residential areas. These issues led to restrictions on swimming at this location.
