Repulse Bay Beach

Beautiful place. Almost unchanged in 40 years since last visiting. Even on a rainy day it looked picturesque. The Verandah Restaurant highly recommended. Worth a visit, an easy & good day out venturing from Kowloon.

Love this beach. Clean, quieter than repulse bay (no fancy shops or cafes of course), and all around comfy! Love it!

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Repulse bay has always been my favorite choice of public beach. It is not too far from the city and has a variety of food/beverage options along the beach front. You can come here for a dip or just chill at a cafe/restaurant and still have plenty of fun!

We'd done most of the tourist spots in Hong Kong, and during our last visit to Hong Kong we had taken one of the hop on hop off bus tours. And on the route we passed Repulse Bay. On the bus there was nowhere for the bus to pull over for a few minutes for us to get a better look, but the views from the bus looked beautiful. We were pushed for time that day and anyone who's taken the hop on hop off bus in Hong Kong knows that they 'are not the most frequent or reliable' buses in the world, so we didn't wish to take any chances by getting off at the repulse bay stop. On our return to Hong Kong we made it a point to visit. And it was a beautiful. We visited in July which is Typhoon season, but we were very lucky with the weather. The scenery around the area, has a feel to it, that if you didn't know any better would make you think that you were in Hawaii. A tip for visitors if the only thing that want to do is enjoy the views and sit by the beach is to leave early. We took a (uber)cab just after 7am from our hotel and got to the beach at 7:20am, and we were treated to a beach that had no more than a dozen people on or around the beach at anyone time. It was incredibly peaceful, and with the temperatures yet to reach their peak, at 28 degrees, and with a nice sea breeze, we enjoyed a nice peaceful hour or so on the repulse bay pier. If you decide to get a cab back to the your hotel from that location, I would advise calling the cab 15 minutes or so before you intend to leave, because it does take a bit of time the cabs to arrive.

Nice public beach, clean . Super crowded in weekends and public holidays. Easy to access by public transportation

Recommended for a good half-day trip away from the chaos of the city. Short, cheap bus trip to one of the wealthiest areas of Hong Kong. The place is full of rich, white people, enjoying the beach, or exercising along the promenade. The beach itself is nice. The sand is more like small pebbles for the majority, and it only turns into 'real' sand just at the shoreline. Trees along the sand are a nice addition for aesthetics, as well as practicality for shade from the sun. The water is unfortunately sparsely littered with garbage like foam food containers and other random pieces of plastic.

Very accessible compared to other beaches in Hong Kong and quite pretty with all the rich houses surrounding you. Sand is more corse compared to other beaches and the water is more murky. Very crowded with people too. But good thing is many amenities around and a mall is right behind the beach. At night is nicer as there are less people but it’s still a bit lighted up so you can see and it’s not too dark. Can come here for a chill picnic but it’s difficult to enjoy the beach in peace.

Wonderful beach and good food along the boardwalk! When the weather is sunny, it is a perfect day at the beach. Easily accessible by public transportation (bus). On weekends, it can get crowded (depending on the season) and it may be difficult to find parking.
