Clear Water Bay


Clear Water Bay is a bay on the eastern shore of Clear Water Bay Peninsula of Hong Kong, located within Clear Water Bay Country Park. There are two beaches at Clear Water Bay: "Clear Water Bay First Beach" and "Clear Water Bay Second Beach". The name is also used to describe the area around the bay on the peninsula.

Beaches

During the summer, both beaches have life guards on duty. Changing rooms, lockers, shower facilities, toilets and rafts are available at both beaches. A BBQ area can only be found on the 1st beach, but there is a kiosk selling refreshment on the 2nd beach.
There is an unavoidable flight of stairs of about 100 steps for both beaches, so strollers and wheelchairs cannot be used to access the beaches.
Both beaches are protected by shark nets after the three fatal shark attacks in Hong Kong in 1995. On 13 June 1995, a 49-year-old woman Wong Kui-Yong had her left forearm and left leg bitten off by a shark at Clear Water Bay 1st beach. She died of her injuries.
