Sha Chau and Lung Kwu Chau Marine Park (沙洲及龍鼓洲海岸公園) are relatively remote islands seldom visited. Interesting non the less.
In this case, I didn’t go. Tyler and friends kayaked there + hiked/”coasteered” a bit around. Here the map (how to download to your phone offline maps) of their paddling route
Video by Tyler showing all the highlights.
You need to have your own kayaks or arrange a complex hiring service to do this route. In their case, they “GoGoVan-ed” their own to Lwun Kwu Tan. In front the first target:
Lung Kwu Chau. Straight-line till the island and hike up. It seems that you could “park” your kayak on the Western beach too,
with a possible dense vegetation path, connecting with this Helipad on the way up
to the top, where the DVOR/DME Station is located. It provides essential navigational aid for aircraft operating into and out of the Airport.
Down again and Tyler checking the coasteering on the South of the island. Does not look bad. From there to Sha Chau, which is smaller and almost completely surrounded by sand.
The most remarkable feature is its long tombolo. Pics by Wayne.
Up there you can see the Approach Surveillance Radar Station which also has its helipad.
Tombolo under the water returning from the Tin Hau temple area.
And head to Lantau. Passing under the Macao bridge and the airplanes way to their landing on the airport.
Entering
in Tai O.
And continue to the “parking area”.
