About Lower Cheung Sha Beach
Lower Cheung Sha beach is a peaceful spot on the South of Lantau Island, with not a highrise in sight, a visit here is good for the soul. The sand is soft, the views are green and peaceful, and the water is great for swimming and watersports. You’ll feel like you’re really getting back to nature when the local buffalo wander through (usually in the late afternoon).
The beach here has a showers and changing rooms, and lifeguards are present from April to October. You can check the latest water quality information from the government here.
