Shui Hau Wan Beach is ideal for beginners and is mainly used for kite boarding, as the water is choppy to flat and cloudy and thus only few swimmers show up. There are schools operating on the spot, where you can arrange lessons, as well as gear rentals and showers.
Note that there are corals and rocks in the sea, so it is best to wear booties. Kite boarding is a relatively new and up coming activity in Hong Kong with many potentials. So if you are planning to visit the city, take a break and enjoy a great day kite boarding at Shui Hau Wan Beach.
