Silvermine Bay Beach

I really enjoyed the chill vibes from this beach. It's a relaxed atmosphere with not too many people on a Monday afternoon. If only the beach was clean. There was a lot of rubbish on the beach and in the water. Next time I come I'll remember to bring a bag to do a small beach cleanup.

HK's summer is unbearablely sultry, but in mid May, when temp is "only" 31C and you have clouds blocking the sun every now and then, taking a walk on this beach is still enjoyable. Nevertheless, maybe it's a weekday, the beach was practically empty when we arrived.

Rather quiet beach in HK compared to some popular ones even on public holidays. Can swim, water sports like kayak for rental next to the beach. Nice.

A different charm from my favorite Stanley Beach. There is no accommodation at Stanley Beach, so it is difficult to stay for a few days. The accommodations here are also clean and cheap. The waves are not big, but the sound is reasonable, which is good. Even better, there is a boat to Hong Kong Central within a 10-minute walk. This is a beach where I want to stay for a month next time.

On Sept 15, 2022, I came here after lunch. There’re nice facilities and lifeguard service. I swam along the buoy line of the swimming area as there wasn’t any floating platforms. The water was calm and the beach was peaceful.

Nice quiet beach with facilities for changing and showering. Sand is quite clean and so is the water. Shark nets are installed. some little shacks/shops where you can buy drinks and snacks.

Yes, Silvermine Bay Beach is a beach, but it's more than just an ordinary beach. Unlike other beaches in Hong Kong where you see mostly some basic beach amenities on the shore, there are quite a few interesting scenes here. Walk along the path that runs across the whole beach, and you'll find some small houses that you don't often see in the city. Some look vintage, some glamorous and some blend perfectly with the nature. Together with the splendid view of the sea and the sandy beach, you can indulge yourself with a relaxed atmosphere without realizing how time slips away.

I visited during winter, and at the time the beach was neat, clean and ot was a pleasure to spend time there. Nearby cafe's and bathroom facilities mafe the time even more enjoyable.

I've always felt the Silvermine Bay beach was underrated by most of Hong Kong. When asked what's the best beach to go to Sai Kung is usually the destination. I understand that being so close to the pier and civilization Silvermine beach is prone to be dirtier than those in Sai Kung or even Chung Sha, down the road, however, of all the times that I've been I have not had a problem. That being said I generally go to hang out on the sand, not in the water. Silvermine beach is in a great location surrounded by some good shops and restaurants. It stretches for quite some distance meaning that there's always a spot that isn't crowded. It also has a volleyball net set up for any one crazy enough to play an outdoor sport during the day. On the way to the beach, from the pier and bus terminal, be sure to swing by 711 or one of the other stores to stock up on supplies as walking back and forth tends to be annoying. By the beach are a series of BBQ pits, an inn, and a resort so food and drinks are plentiful. On top of all the above the beach has be known to host some really fun parties and music festivals. One of the music festivals that I went to went on through the day, the music wasn't the best but everyone who attended were there to have a good time, smile and enjoy the weekend. Speaking of weekends, don't come here! I know not everyone has a freelance job or lives in Mui Wo but on Saturday or Sunday the beach starts to fill up. It's never that bad that you feel like your private space is being invaded and if you do feel that way the next beach is only a ten minute tax ride away!
