Hiking, running, swimming every bit of Hong Kong

Category Coasteering

Ninepin Islands

Hexagonal columns, archways, tunnels, corals, clean water, a white sand beach. Near perfect coasteering destination but for the logistics and swim distance.

Shelter island

Small island in the way to Saikung that requires swimming or kayaking there. Nice rock formations with varied terrain, including high cliffs and flat coral areas.

Cheung Chau East

The Eastern shoreline of Cheung Chau is by far the most technical. Similar rock formations to the rest of the island with the added difficulty “fun” bonus.

Shek Pik – Shui Ha

Coasteering from Shek Pik reservoir to Shui Ha Wan mud flat is a long interesting route. Suitable for beginners trying to challenge themselves.

Ng Fan Chau

A small island just in front of one of the busiest beaches in Hong Kong, Shek O, perfect for coasteering. Several caves, cliff jumping spots all around.

Beaufort Island

Although I haven’t been there myself, Tyler, Colin, and others have been. Therefore adding information for your reference (several readers asking).

Lantau SW coasteering

Surprisingly interesting rock formations and fun scrambling on the Westernmost coast of the island. Everything fine but for the turbid water.

Round island

Repulse Bay to Chung Hom Kok is coasteering introductory classic. If you are ready to swim long there is a more impressive route around.

Lamma East

East peninsula of Lamma coasteering. Relatively complex fun scrambling, a lighthouse, the Dinosaur Egg rock, a small arch to swim through.
