The Repulse Bay is the sandy beach of having the highest representative characteristics in Hong Kong by its long and broad beach, clean water, fresh sand, calm tide and gentle wave.

Repulse Bay is most famous. The English name may sound repulsive, but the beach is not - the name came from the fact that the British army had chased off some pirates in the old days. The Chinese name is more descriptive - it means "Shallow Water Bay".

In summer, this place is pretty much standing room only. But if you are from cold places where 20 degrees Celcius is just right for sun-bathing, November is the great time of year to go to avoid the crowds! Sometimes, even December is quite balmy.
