Rocky Bay Beach, Bathing beach in Southern District, Hong Kong.
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.
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.
Local residents gather at this beach for family activities while maintaining the natural character of the Southern District coastal environment.
Swimming is not permitted due to the lack of lifeguards and shark prevention nets. Visitors should plan to explore the surroundings and rock formations instead.
Located behind Shek O Beach, this spot remains less visited and allows visitors to observe sea creatures in rock pools. The quieter setting makes it a good place for watching marine life.
