Long Ke Wan, Sai Kung East Country Park, Sai Kung, New Territories, Hong KongAbout
Long Ke Wan is located in the southeastern part of Sai Kung Peninsula, north of the East Dam of High Island Reservoir, within the Sai Kung East Country Park, Hong Kong. It is one of Hong Kong's most beautiful and pristine beaches, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and fine white sand. Surrounded by mountain peaks and headlands, this natural bay creates a secluded paradise-like environment and has been selected as one of the 'Top 10 Natural Scenic Spots in Hong Kong'. The beach is also known as the 'Maldives of Hong Kong' due to its stunning natural beauty. Long Ke Wan features a campsite managed by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, which is one of the designated camping sites along the MacLehose Trail Section 1. The area was once home to Long Ke Village, which carries historical memories of past settlements. However, the beach is relatively remote and can only be reached by taxi or a 3-hour hike, with limited facilities including only one toilet at the campsite. Despite the challenging access, the breathtaking scenery of clear waters, soft sand, and surrounding natural landscape makes it a worthwhile destination for experienced hikers and nature enthusiasts.
