Adventure
Snorkelling: discover mesmerising underwater marine life in calm shallow waters off Sharp Island’s coast
Written by South China Morning Post (Morning Studio)
Many Hongkongers go snorkelling in the city’s coastal waters during the hot summer months. You needn’t be an athlete to enjoy this water sport because the city is home to many sites with calm shallows suitable for beginners. One excellent location is Sharp Island (or Kiu Tsui Chau), a short kaito (ferry boat) ride from Sai Kung, in the New Territories. The island, stretching 2,500 metres from north to south, offers idyllic beaches, stunning geology, panoramic vistas of mountains and islands and — just beneath the waves — a long, unbroken coral reef teeming with colourful marine life.
Transport
Getting to Sharp Island
MTR Choi Hung Station’s Exit C2 leads to the 1A minibus stop, which goes to the terminus near Sai Kung Pier. You can also take bus 92 from MTR Diamond Hill Station, which stops at Sai Kung bus terminus near the public pier. On the waterfront and at the Sai Kung New Public Pier, a number of small kaito operators — each with a distinctive flag — offer return trips to Sharp Island. They will drop you off at Kiu Tsui Pier. When you buy your ticket, they will inform you of the return schedule. Make sure you keep the ticket for your return — and look out at the pier for your kaito’s flag.
Leaving from Sharp Island
Take the kaito from Kiu Tsui Pier back to Sai Kung, and minibus 1A from the minibus terminus to MTR Choi Hung Station, or bus 92 from the bus terminus back to MTR Diamond Hill Station.
