Stanley Beach

While not one of the best beaches in Hong Kong the sandy beach at Stanley is easy to reach, just a few steps away from the market and the restaurants and is an official gazetted beach, that means there are shark nets, life rafts and life guards on duty during the swimming season.

The official swimming season in Hong Kong runs from April through to the end of October and during that time all the proper facilities will be there. But after that the Stanley Main Beach, like other official swimming beaches, will not have those facilities.
