Kiu Tsui Country Park, Coastal country park in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.
Kiu Tsui Country Park spreads across eight islands in Port Shelter, with Sharp Island serving as the main destination for beach activities. The park features sandy and pebbly coves, rocky shorelines, and flat walking paths that connect the islands.
The park was established in 1979 to protect these islands, which formed 140 million years ago from the High Island Supervolcano. Volcanic rocks called tuff and breccia make up the foundation of this distinct landscape.
The islands hold meaning for local fishing communities whose heritage shaped how people relate to these waters and shores. Today, the park serves as a space where artists and visitors engage with the natural seascape.
You can reach Sharp Island by regular boat services from Sai Kung Town pier, with the journey taking around 15 minutes. Bring water, sun protection, and comfortable footwear, especially if you plan to walk between the islands.
During low tide, a natural sand levee emerges between Sharp Island and the smaller Kiu Tau islet, creating a rare walkable passage. This temporary path only appears at certain tidal stages and draws visitors seeking this fleeting experience.
