Golden Beach, Artificial beach in Tuen Mun District, Hong Kong

Golden Beach is a 545-metre artificial beach on Castle Peak Road in So Kwun Wat, Tuen Mun District, made of pale sand imported from Hainan. A 480-metre promenade planted with coconut palms and flowers runs parallel to the shore, with changing rooms, showers, toilets, kiosks and a volleyball court behind the sand.

Golden Beach was built in 1994 by the Sino Group as part of its Hong Kong Gold Coast development, using about 74,000 cubic metres of sand shipped from Hainan Island. It opened in September 1995 under the Regional Council, and management passed to the LCSD in 2000. It was Hong Kong's first artificial beach paved with natural sea sand.

Golden Beach opened in 1995 under the Regional Council and passed to the LCSD in 2000. Its volleyball court is unusual among Hong Kong beaches, and the Hong Kong national beach volleyball team sometimes practises there. The 480-metre promenade beside the sand is planted with coconut palms and flowering species.

Golden Beach lies along Castle Peak Road at the 18½-mile mark in So Kwun Wat, with a 480-metre promenade running parallel to the sand. Changing rooms, showers, toilets and a tuck shop stand beside the beach, and a hotel and shopping centre are adjacent. The sand has eroded over the years, so the usable strip is narrower at the southern end.

The beach experiences regular sand erosion from natural coastal currents and requires periodic replenishment to maintain its condition. These ongoing maintenance efforts reveal how artificial beaches need constant monitoring and care to remain usable.
