Hong Kong’s beaches are hugely underrated. They span packed sands minutes from Central to untouched stretches of golden grain on uninhabited islands. You can see our favorites in top Six Beaches in Hong Kong. But where to eat where to drink while enjoying the sea view?
In this city focused on the boardroom rather than board shorts not much has been done to develop the seaside and it can be hard to find a good beach restaurant or cafe. Thankfully, we’re here to help. Below are our top picks for a bit of food and drink next to the lapping waves of the South China Sea.
The China Beach Club
While it doesn't quite make it on to the beach, China beach club does offer excellent views over Silver mine Bay from its terrace. A shabby chic interior is accidental rather than planned but all the more enjoyable for it with plastic seats and mismatched cutlery joined by pictures of Buddha and the Italian countryside sharing wall space. The menu is similarly erratic veering from burger and chips through lasagne and curry. Top of your list should be the BBQ steaks, prawns and other seafood which come straight from the grill out the back at very reasonable price.
The Cococabana
Hong Kong’s classiest seaside restaurant is still pretty relaxed with smart white tablecloths joined by bamboo seats on the patio. You’ll just about get by with sandals and shorts. The patio offers front row seats onto the beautiful beach at Shek O and with drinks served until 23:00 it’s a great place to enjoy some time under the stars. The star studded location does mean inflated prices for a menu of passable French and seafood dishes. Close to the action on Hong Kong Island it's absolutely jammed at weekends and during the evening later in the week and it’s well worth making a recommendation.
The Stoep
One of Hong Kong’s most established seaside restaurants is also one of its most controversial. There are no doubts over the location. The setting on Cheung Sha beach over on Lantau is one of Hong Kong’s best and the patio seating at the front spills onto the sand. There is also good news from the menu. The South African kitchen cooks up BBQ meat and sausage – perfect break at the beach food. Unfortunately, the service gets mixed reviews with some visitors vowing they’d rather hot foot it over hot coals that make a return.
