Information

Sharp Island takes only a fifteen-minute boat ride from Sai Kung Public Pier. As part of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark, it has fascinating natural scenery and unique geological relics, which was created 140 million years ago. It is perfect for visitors to enjoy natural wonders with a short hike.

There are three main attractions in Sharp Island that are highly recommended to visitors. The first spot after arriving at Sharp Island is Half Moon Bay.

Then, continue the visit to Kiu Tsui Beach, Tombolo will come into sight if we catch the low tide. We can witness the natural wonder of “Moses parts the sea”. The natural sandbank connects the nearby islands in the middle of the sea. Visitors can stroll along and appreciate this interesting coastal landform.

The last stop of this journey is to search for “pineapple bun rocks”. As Sharp Island is also a volcano geopark, typical volcanic rocks found on the Island witnessed the volcanic eruption 140 million years ago. While “pineapple bun rocks” are the rocks that have been weathered and eroded with irregular cracks, which looks like the local snack ‘pineapple bun’.

After a 2 hours hike, visitors can take a ferry at Sharp Island Public Pier, to return to Sai Kung Public Pier.
