Ma Wan Tung Wan Beach, Public beach in Ma Wan Island, Hong Kong.
Ma Wan Tung Wan Beach is a public swimming area on Ma Wan Island with sandy shores stretching along the coastline. From here, visitors can see two major bridges crossing the water: Ting Kau Bridge and Tsing Ma Bridge.
The Hong Kong Government officially recognized this beach in 1991 and opened it to the public in 1993 following the completion of necessary infrastructure work. This timing coincided with broader development projects on Ma Wan Island itself.
The beach serves as a gathering place for local island residents, drawing people together for swimming and leisure time by the water. Families and neighbors often come here to spend time outdoors, making it an important spot in the community.
Lifeguards patrol the water during the summer season to ensure visitor safety in the water. The beach is easily accessible and provides basic facilities for those planning to spend the day swimming and relaxing.
For more than a decade, this beach held the distinction of being the only publicly approved swimming beach in the entire Tsuen Wan district. This made it an exceptionally important location for residents seeking local water recreation.
