Big Wave Bay

So what if it doesn’t always live up to its name? A hit with local surfers (it’s Hong Kong’s only designated surfing beach), here you’ll find the usual like good facilities and lifeguards, plus board rentals as well as lessons if the kiddos want to hang ten or boogie board. Grab a bite at one of the nearby noodle stalls or the yummy Eric’s Kitchen which serves up child-friendly Western dishes – and before you leave bring the kids to see the nearby Bronze Age rock carvings, a declared heritage site.
