Two gazetted beaches and the film-studio side of Sai Kung. Water often clearer than south Island.

Tseung Kwan O waterfront mall strip. Tseung Kwan O Line new-town tempo, Hang Hau to Tiu Keng Leng. Shopping is not the goal — an indoor beat before the sea breeze.

Sai Kung’s hexagonal columns. The geopark’s final exhibit. Needs a country bus or taxi — not an urban half-day.

A short Sai Kung island bay. Ferry from Sai Kung pier. One bay is the day’s end — do not add the East Dam.
One Sai Kung island. Kaito out, one bay, stop. Not page two of the geo-park list.
A yacht bay on Sai Kung Road. Town is seafood; this is masts. Not a second Sai Kung Town.
The Clear Water Bay ridge’s gate — not High Junk summit. One ridge or one bay a day, not both.
A salt-pan and chapel island in inner Sai Kung. Town is seafood; this is one short island. Do not add Sharp Island or the East Dam.
Next stop
