For many, Long Ke Wan is the best beach in Hong Kong. The silky white sand and the clear blue water have led many travel magazines to compare Long Ke Wang with Maledives. The remote location of this beach makes it a perfect setting for peace&natural beauty seeking hikers. For those wanting to overnight, there is also an official campsite nestled amongst the trees. Despite the remote location the area can get somewhat busy on weekends so if you are planning to camp on a good site, make sure to reserve your spot early as there are only 15 spots.
