　　Shek O Beach

　　Shek O Beach is situated in the southeastern part of Hong Kong Island. According to the Environmental Protection Department’s beach grading system, Shek O Beach is classified as a Grade 2 beach, with fair water quality. The beach features clear water and fine sand, has lifeguards on duty, and is close to restaurants and barbecue sites. As a result, many people visit here during holidays to swim and have barbecues. In addition, the cliffs on the beach are also great spots for sport climbing.

　　Shek O Beach is relatively remote and not easily accessible by public transport. There are several parking lots near the beach, so some visitors choose to drive there in their private cars.

　　Because Shek O is far from the hustle and bustle, the surrounding area of Shek O Beach retains a natural landscape. The sand here is also finer and smoother than that of nearby Stanley Beach. This is one of the attractions of Shek O.
