Pak Sha Chau (Sai Kung District)

Pak Sha Chau is a small uninhabited island located in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong. Its name translates to "White Sand Island" in Cantonese, a reference to the beaches that can be found on the island.

Pak Sha Chau is part of the Sai Kung East Country Park. Due to its remote location and lack of facilities, it is primarily visited by boaters and kayakers seeking a quiet place to relax or enjoy water sports. The waters surrounding the island are known for their clarity, making it suitable for snorkeling and diving.

Geologically, Pak Sha Chau is formed from volcanic rock. The island features a rugged coastline with small coves and inlets. While lacking significant vegetation, hardy shrubs and grasses are present.

Access to Pak Sha Chau is exclusively by boat. There are no scheduled ferry services. Visitors typically arrive on private boats, chartered vessels, or kayaks rented from Sai Kung town.
