Lower Cheung Sha Beach, Bathing beach in Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
Lower Cheung Sha Beach is a 96-metre-long gazetted bathing beach in Cheung Sha on the southern coast of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It sits within a large embayment formed by the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula and Luk Keng Shan, and is managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The beach has changing rooms, showers and toilets.
The area opened up to visitors with the construction of South Lantau Road in the mid-20th century. This road connected the beach to the rest of the island and made it easily accessible for the first time.
The beach serves as a gathering place for swimming and water sports, where visitors and locals use the wide sandy shoreline for leisure and bathing. Simple restaurants and food stalls line the coast, serving fresh fish dishes and local specialties.
The beach has changing rooms, showers, and restrooms available year-round. Lifeguard services operate from April to October, making these the safest months for swimming.
The beach sits in a large embayment formed by the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula and Luk Keng Shan. From the sand, the view opens toward Cha Kwo Chau, the same island visible from Tong Fuk and Upper Cheung Sha beaches. Upper Cheung Sha Beach lies nearby but is not connected to it.
