- Sharp Island (Kiu Tsui Chau) — The park’s signature island: easy to get to by short ferry and packed with sandy coves. It’s a great, low-effort spot to swim, chill on the sand, or base yourself for short walks around the shore.
- The Tombolo (sandbar) — At low tide a natural sand causeway appears linking Sharp Island to nearby rocks/islets. Walking the exposed sandbar is oddly satisfying and makes for instant island-hopping without a boat—check tide times before you go.
- Hap Mun Wan (Half Moon Bay) — One of the nicest beaches in the park: clear water, a gentle crescent of sand and shallow swimming. Less crowded early or late in the day and perfect for snorkeling or a relaxed picnic.
- Geological rock formations — The coast here shows dramatic sea-eroded shapes and layered volcanic/sedimentary

- Geological rock formations — The coast here shows dramatic sea-eroded shapes and layered volcanic/sedimentary rocks that are part of Hong Kong’s geopark story. Good for photos and for anyone who likes odd rock shapes and little cliffside views.
- Short hill viewpoint — A quick climb from the beaches rewards you with panoramic views over Sai Kung’s scattered islands and turquoise water. It’s short but steep in places—worth it for sunset if you time it right.
- Snorkeling and marine life — Shallow bays and relatively clear water mean you can see small corals, reef fish, and crabs without needing a liveaboard. Bring your own mask and fins to save money; avoid touching anything.
- Intertidal exploration — At low tide the rocky flats come alive: little pools with hermit crabs, snails, and other small creatures. Great for curious travelers and kids—again, tread lightly and don’t take animals or shells.
- Easy coastal trails and picnic spots — The park isn’t about hardcore hiking; it’s about short, scenic walks, shady spots for a packed lunch, and relaxed island vibes. Perfect for a half-day escape from town without heavy gear.
