Tai Long Wan, Bay on Sai Kung Peninsula, Hong Kong

The three-kilometer wide bay contains four main beaches: Sai Wan, Ham Tin Wan, Tai Wan, and Tung Wan, surrounded by hills and cliffs.

Archaeological findings from Ham Tin reveal human settlements dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, establishing early population presence in the region.

Local fishermen maintain traditional practices in small remaining villages, with former settlements like Cheung Uk Wai now standing as preserved structures.

Access requires travel to Sai Kung Town followed by a 40-minute hike from Sai Wan Pavilion or speedboat service directly to the beaches.

Columnar-jointed volcanic rocks form the coastline, creating steep formations, sea caves, and natural arches from Cretaceous Period volcanic activity.
