  Beaches of Hong Kong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hong Kong has a long coastline which is full of twists and turns with many bays and beaches.
However, along with the development of Hong Kong, the quality of water near some of the bays becomes poorer and poorer, causing them to be closed; for example, Approach Beach, Ting Kau Beach, Anglers' Beach, Gemini Beaches, Hoi Mei Wan Beach, Casam Beach and Lido Beach in Tsuen Wan.
Eleven of them are located on the Hong Kong Island and the southern part of Kowloon Peninsula and 29 of them are located in the New Territories, including the outlying islands.
