The Wu Kai Sha beach is situated at the northwest of Ma On Shan. The beach is started from Ma On Sha Park and ends at the Whitehead Club Golf Driving Range. An artificially made trail is located at the southeast of the coast beside the beach. Before that area has been developed, there used to be a coal mine at the location of the existing beach. Now, there are quite a lot of newly built residential buildings around the beach. Therefore, there is quite a big contract between the view of the sea and the view of the back of the beach.
The main users of the beach are the residents and the campers from the YMCA Youth Camp as the campsite is right next to the beach. Residents and campers would cycle and enjoy their holiday at the beach. Although this beach is not a government official public beach for swimming, there are a few elderly people who manage to have fun in the water.
There are some weaknesses the beach. One of the weaknesses is the sand on the beach is not fine at all and it is not recommended to walk on the beach bare foot as it would scratch people’s foot. Also, the water is too clear to swim and play with, therefore people should avoid touching the water.
Despite the weaknesses of the beach, there is something that people can take from the beach. Something worth taking from the beach is the view. Although the Wu Kai Sha beach is not really situated in the wilderness, it has an unlimited open view. The view is not destroyed by the container ships like they do at the beaches in Tuen Mun. Therefore, when people are stressed, they can have a walk on the beach along with the view. In different time, people would experience different ambiances on the beach. Also, there are very few people occupying the beach and you cannot experience the silence of that at Repulse Bay. Because of the quietness, couples can spend their day on the beach and enjoy the sunset.
