Kwun Yam Beach, Public bathing beach in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong
The 100-meter-long beach features white sand and faces Kwun Yam Wan on the eastern coast of Cheung Chau island, earning a Grade 1 water quality rating.
The beach opened to the public in 1971 as an officially recognized recreational area, marking its establishment as a protected swimming location in Hong Kong.
The beach takes its name from Avalokiteśvara, a significant figure in Mahayana Buddhism representing compassion, reflecting local religious connections.
Visitors can access changing rooms, showers, toilets, a water sports center, and refreshment kiosks while enjoying activities such as windsurfing and swimming.
The beach served as the training ground for Lee Lai-shan, who became Hong Kong's first Olympic gold medalist in windsurfing during the 1996 Summer Games.
