Big Wave Bay Beach on Shek O is one of Hong Kong's favourite surf spots for its easy waves, making it a great surfing site for beginners. Situated on the eastern edge of the Hong Kong Island, the Big Wave Bay Beach houses ancient rock carvings that was recently declared a monument. Quite close to the Dragon's Back hike, this beach is the perfect respite after the trail. The beach is also lined with restaurants serving snacks, beverages and beer.
