Big Wave Bay Beach, Bathing beach in Southern District, Hong Kong.
Big Wave Bay Beach is a sandy shore in the Southern District known for strong wave action and clear water backed by green hillsides. The beach measures roughly 86 meters in length and provides a natural setting for swimming and water activities.
The location shifted from a traditional fishing village to a modern recreational area while keeping ties to its maritime past. This transformation shaped how people engage with the beach today.
Ancient rock carvings found near the eastern section of the beach demonstrate the historical human presence in this coastal area.
The beach offers barbecue pits, changing facilities, showers, and toilets year-round, with surfboard rentals available. Visitors should check conditions beforehand since wave activity varies with the season.
Rock carvings near the eastern section show evidence of ancient human settlement along this coast. These marks suggest the area held importance for people long ago.
