Half Moon Bay

A little history of half moon bay is that the name of it is a little bit tricky. Back in the British colonial time, Cantonese people called this bay “Hup Mun Bay “ which means “廈門灣”. However, the English people didn’t understand Cantonese and misinterpret it as “Half Moon Bay”, and that is how the name came from. Another saying is that it is because how the bay look is like a half-moon, so named it as “half moon bay”. You can take a boat from Sai Kung Pier to this bay in around 20 minutes with 20 HKD or 30 HKD during the peak season. Another way to get there is to take a boat from Sai Kung Pier to Kiu Tsui Bay and hike through the Kiu Tsui Country Park, but it might take a longer time to get there. Besides, the Half Moon Bay has been recognized as the top clean beach in Hong Kong and has remained for years. We recommend you to go there and enjoy your afternoon with drinks and sunset.
