Turtle Cove Beach on Postcard

"Turtle Cove Beach This small cove, also known as Sham Wan, is nestled in greenery at the foot of a bluff, and off the radar for most. Because it'scrowd-free, it’s a great place to get away from it all for a few hours. There are no food or drink stalls, so bring your own. The beach is the last known nesting place for Hong Kong’s endangered green turtles, so it's closed between June and October to protect the creatures. To get there, take a junk boat from the Aberdeen Waterfront or the MTR train to Sai Wan Ho, then Bus 14. Get off just after the Tai Tam Reservoir and follow the steep steps that lead down the secluded beach."

"Unlike most of the water around Hong Kong, Turtle Cove's is nearly transparent. Not quite Maldives visibility, but you can see your toes until you wade into the deep end. Thanks to the calm waters, visitors can easily swim laps, hang out on a raft, or just splash around for a bit." - Kate Springer

On Oct 7, 2022, I came here for the first time. Except for the suspension of lifeguard services, here was like heaven on earth. The water was clear and there were just two other swimmers. Then, as the only swimmer, I had long sunbathing on the floating platform. And from there, I checked the shark net at the outer limit of the swimming area and found no giant hole.

One of the cleanest beaches I've ever been to in HK. The water so clear you can actually see small fishes, crabs, clams. Great for kids, sands so fine. And shaded area (whole day!) if you didnt bring any tent. Life guard services and shower /changing room is also provided. Easiest way to get here is get on bus #14 from Sai wan ho station(exit A).

Turtle Cove Accessible from Chaiwan in min bus or Number 14 bus from Grand Promenade at Sai Wan Ho. It is a small beach and extreme quiet. A Great view of the open ocean sky and mountains at the back. Good for swimming and gives a feeling of a private beach. The set back is one has to walk about 150M down from the main road Tai Tam Road near Red Hill . By the same token, when one reaches back up to the main road one has the choice to the trails of Tai Tam Reservoir at south Entrance or the Tai Tam Bay pier. Worthy of spending half of a day here.

Nice small quiet clean beach. Good clean shower and change room. After Typhoon Mangkhut, the barbeque area is damaged still in Oct 2018. Bus#14 (from Stanley or from San Wan Ho) has a bus stop right at the beach where you can take about 300 steps down to the beach. Note the beach faces South, so no sun after 4pm.

Small and quite beach. It has all the facilities as other beaches un Hong Kong (bathroom, showers) You have to go down several stairs to enter the beach and there is nothing to buy something to drink or eat on the beach so i recommend to buy before coming down. There is a mall with a welcome just two blocks from the entrance.
