Repulse Bay

Transportation: Take Buses No.6, 6A, 6X, 260 or 262 (bound for Stanley) from Central’s Exchange Square or Central’s Star Ferry Pier, and get off at Repulse Bay or take Minibus No.40 (bound for Stanley) at Causeway Bay’s Tang Lung Street (Corner of Percival Street and Hennessy Road), and get off at Repulse Bay.
On the west of the Repulse Bay, there is a Seaview Promenade connecting to Deep Water Bay. This is another popular beach, however Repulse Bay is more attractive. Never got photographed so much in our entire lives as the last time we were there. Crazy. Wanted to spend a relaxed day at that beautiful beach. It is really wonderful to bathe and sunbathe. The water is clear and warm. I was told that the shark nets are up from April/​May till the end of October. We really enjoyed ourselves last Thursday, but about 200 pics or more got taken of us by Chinese visitors. One busload after the other arriving. Some asking us first and others shooting us while walking by. At one point we had 10 of them sitting on our towels and posing with us as mascots while others took pics. Felt weird. Lovely beach though with a lot of facilities and restaurants and only a short bus ride from Central. Lots of trees provide shade for us who prefer lying in the shade to being fried in the sun.

This beach is located along the way to Stanley so it’s perfect for a little sunbathing before or after shopping and food.
I live on the Aberdeen side so there are green mini buses (#40) that go towards Stanley but stops at this beach.
I came to the beach hoping to relax and catch a little sun. Little did I know that this beach has become a mainland tourist trap. You’ll see tons of tour groups along the beach taking pictures and kicking sand about. So be sure you grab a spot away from the main part of the beach.
The sand is also corse here so it easily dusts off when dry. They also have open facilities in case you need to shower.

Beautiful beach on the south side of the island. A bit built up and crowded, but understandably so. I went with a person in a wheelchair, and noted that the place was not that accessible-​friendly. There were only two elevators available to go down to the beach level.

It used to be just a humble fishing village and a prison outpost, popular among locals wanting to dip their toes in the ocean.
Repulse Bay doesn’t offer much in the way of sandy beaches; Hong Kong is a collection of jagged islands and rocky outcrops after all. But it has recently become a notable tourist destination, with bazaars, cafes, bars and a shopping plaza having popped up along the revamped waterfront.
MTR doesn’t reach this part of town; only double deck buses coming out of Exchange Square (Central) and minibuses (out of North Point) do. Taking the taxi would be an expensive alternative.
