History

On 18 July 2010, a dragon boat was swamped by the wakes from two passing speedboats and all 21 paddlers who were practising for the coming dragon boat competition at the beach fell into the sea. A 26-year-old woman was treated at Tseung Kwan O Hospital for her leg injury and was discharged.[3]

In September 2018, the beach had to be temporarily closed due to the sewage being leaked into the sea near the beach from the Sai Kung Sewage Treatment Works. This was due to the Typhoon Mangkhut.[4]

On 1 July 2020, a 68-year-old woman had drowned while swimming near the beach. She was unconscious when she was rescued by a lifeguard and was taken by an ambulance to Tseung Kwan O Hospital for treatment.[5]

Usage

The beach is split in two by a rocky outcrop and a whopping lifeguard tower. The beach is also accessible by hiking for a healthier and more scenic option as well as kai-to from Hebe Haven Pier.[6]
