Sha Tau Kok Public Pier

Sha Tau Kok Public Pier, Public pier in Hong Kong

Sha Tau Kok Public Pier is a long jetty in Hong Kong's North District that extends roughly 280 meters into the water. The structure connects the mainland to nearby islands and serves as a departure point for boat trips, with seating areas along its edges providing places for visitors to rest and watch the water.

The original pier was built in the 1960s. In June 2004 the government proposed HK$109 million to rebuild it, along with Wong Shek and Ko Lau Wan piers; the new pier, west of the old one, opened in 2007 at a cost of about HK$46 million. Because of shallow water it was lengthened to 280 metres, making it Hong Kong's longest public pier.

The pier is the only route to Kat O and Ap Chau, served by kaitos that also call at Sam A and other northeast villages. Its name simply combines Sha Tau Kok with "public pier". Since the 3 June 2022 opening, tour groups of up to 500 people a day use it at weekends and public holidays.

Since 3 June 2022 the pier is open to tour groups on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, capped at 500 people per day; other visitors still need a Closed Area Permit. Kaitos run from here to Kat O, Sam A and Ap Chau, reaching them in 15 to 30 minutes instead of over an hour from Ma Liu Shui. The pier lies west of the old 1960s structure.

The easternmost point of the land border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen lies on the pier itself. Because shallow water forced the structure to be lengthened to 280 metres, it became the longest public pier in Hong Kong, longer than any other in the territory.
