Fun route full of peculiar rock formations, short climbs, traverse, slabs, sit on and slide down areas and a few beaches where to rest.

See full screen & the Garmin track.

Ferry to Mui Wo or MTR to Tung Chung and bus/taxi to Pui O beach. Start walking on the sand, cross the small river end and onto the rocks.

It starts

relatively

easy.

With low scrambles.

After the climbing wall (Eagle crag)

the scrambling becomes more serious.

A little cave.

And time for demanding walls

or swimming.

I liked this big tafoni

just before arriving at

Mong Tung Wan.

You could exit here or just continue after the pier (no public ferries, just kaitos landing here).

Seen Shek Kwu Chau in front.

Just slightly after

the slab sections start.

Finding the way up.

Through the tunnel.

Ass down and slow descend.

You better have good grip shoes on the angled areas.

“Chimney-ing”.

And after the little beach a more demanding (for the shoe grip) slab section.

Practicing her traversing skills.

More nice rocks

including this holed one. We found a group that was taking tons of pics there with them coming in and out.

Seems that this section has more hikers traffic

with set ropes and side high paths to avoid the trickier scrambling or short wades/swims.

Arriving at Sea Ranch.

The resort like complex that had been partly abandoned but now has people living back there. A guard saw us and let us continue on our way, once he realized that we were not into Urbex fun. If in doubt, just head down to the beach and walk on it. Public.

Just after some wave fun 😆 that rock was perfectly angled for the waves to go above them.

Some more traversing

and rocks to scramble on.

After checking a trickier descend some decided to jump to the water and swim till the next beach.

Meanwhile the three of us went through the washing machines back to the rocks

for a bit more of scrambling. The very last cliff allows either a chimney ascend on the left or some more wading on the right side.

And end the coasteering on Tai Long Wan, one of the four Big Wave Bays you can find in Hong Kong.

On the West side of the beach find the path

that will bring you back through several hills

to the starting point. Cross the river

and end up on Pui O

You can shorten the route with a bit more of logistics. Video by Tyler going in the opposite direction + taking a kaito from Cheung Chau to Big Wave Bay beach, avoiding the hiking part.

You could make it even longer day having some scrambling fun on the Sesame Walls.

Everything you should know before coasteering.
