Repulse Bay: Magnificent Tranquility in Bustling World

#hongkongtrip Visitors can sunbathe and swim in the bay, which is under the supervision of lifeguards during the swimming season, and after that go to one of the restaurants located nearby. In summer, the air temperature is ideal for swimming. The water is very comfortable at this time – not cold, but not too warm either. The swimming season opens in March and ends in November. There are statues of Taoist gods, a small mountain and an elite residential complex near the beach. Repulse Bay is the perfect place to combine swimming and sightseeing in the city. Repulse Bay is a free public beach, one of the forty beaches in Hong Kong. Rescuers work from March to November. The beach is equipped with comfortable shower cabins, which can be used free of charge. In the summer, a lot of people gather on the beach. Lifeguards are on duty. So far, no shark sightings have been reported in this bay. Repulse Bay is an ideal harbor for small vessels, because it is quite a narrow place and there are many small islands around that protect the bay from large waves. The water depth in the bay is small. It is said that before the British took control of the bay, there were many pirates in it. In recent decades, the bay has become a favorite place for beach holidays for Hong Kong residents and tourists. The transport scheme adjacent to the beach is very convenient. Not far from the bay is the Central district, the main business district of Hong Kong. Many high-rise buildings have been built along the coastline. Real estate prices here are among the highest in Hong Kong. Buyers are attracted to this area, surrounded by small mountains, with a wonderful beach and located close to the Central district. Repulse Bay Beach is located in a picturesque bay in one of the most prestigious areas of Hong Kong. Large vessels do not enter here, and the shore is shallow enough for comfortable swimming. Vacationers can use sun beds and umbrellas, showers and barbecue grills for free. There are numerous restaurants near the beach where you can taste various seafood delicacies and other unusual dishes. As for the sights, nearby there is the Kwun Yam Temple and Tin Hau, the Old Lighthouse and the Longevity Bridge, passing through which you can add three more days to life.
