Fodor's Expert Review Shek O
Southside
Town/Village
This seaside locale is Southside's easternmost village, home to a few beach shops and casual restaurants selling Southeast Asian fare. The main reason to make the trip is Shek O Beach, an enticing crescent of golden sand facing rocky offshore islands. You can also cut through town and cross a bridge to the \"island\" of Tai Tau Chau, which is really a large rock with a lookout over the South China Sea. Hikers should head to nearby Shek O Country Park, known for its bird-watching and coastal views. To get here from Central, take the MTR to Shau Kei Wan (Exit A3), then take Bus 9 to the last stop (about 30 minutes).
