Pui O Beach

Pui O Beach, Bathing beach in Lantau Island, Hong Kong

Pui O Beach is a 260-metre gazetted bathing beach on the south-southwest shore of Lantau Island, facing Pui O Wan and the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula. Its sand is a mix of black and yellow grains from the surrounding geology. The upper beach has six barbecue pits, changing rooms, showers, toilets, a fast-food kiosk and a free campsite with 52 sand-floored pitches divided by wooden fences.

Pui O Beach is a gazetted beach managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. In 2008, shark prevention net maintenance temporarily closed it. On 23 November 2018, Billy, a well-known eight-year-old bull living at the beach, died with his stomach and intestinal tract blocked by plastic bags.

Pui O Beach is where sea water meets fresh water from nearby rivers, a junction that shapes the shoreline. Beside the sand, restaurants sell swimming supplies and food, and the upper beach has been built up by the Hong Kong Government for wild camping. The beach is gazetted and managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

The beach has changing rooms, showers, toilets, a fast food kiosk and six barbecue pits. The adjacent campsite has 52 sand pitches divided by wooden fences and is free, but register at the office first; it was closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The beach faces south-southwest, so sunsets are visible from the sand.

The sand here displays an unusual blend of black and yellow grains, reflecting the specific geological formation beneath the island. This color pattern makes the shoreline visually distinct and often surprises visitors who are used to more uniform sand elsewhere.
