Overview
Hong Kong Island's south side offers Repulse Bay beach, Deep Water Bay and coastal paths with skyline-free sea views. Popular with locals on weekends — go early.
Repulse Bay and nearby southside beaches are the Island's classic sand-and-sea escape, with cafés and a temple complex near the bay. Obey lifeguard flags; water quality and swell vary. Buses from Central/Causeway Bay take longer than they look on a map — start morning. Half to full day with Stanley combo.
