Tai Long Wan (Sai Kung), Hong Kong is one of the best-known surf spots in Hong Kong, set on the eastern side of the Sai Kung Peninsula. It’s a scenic, relatively remote bay made up of a series of beaches, with Long Ke Wan, Sai Wan, Ham Tin, and Tai Wan often mentioned in the area.

Spot description

Wave type: Beach break
Best swell: East to northeast swell, especially during typhoon season
Best wind: Light offshore winds, usually west to northwest
Skill level: Beginner to advanced depending on the size and conditions
Consistency: More consistent than many Hong Kong spots when typhoon swells hit
Crowd: Can get busy when conditions are good, but is still less crowded than urban surf breaks

What it’s like

Tai Long Wan is known for having multiple surfable peaks across the bay, which can make it fun and varied. On a good day, it can produce fast, punchy beach-break waves, but it can also be gentle enough for learning when the swell is smaller. Because it’s exposed to open water, conditions can change quickly with tides, swell direction, and wind.

Access and setting

Access usually involves a hike or boat transfer, which adds to the adventure.
The area is inside a beautiful natural landscape with clear water, sandy beaches, and dramatic hills.
Since it’s in a more remote part of Hong Kong, it has a wild, getaway feel compared with city surf spots.

Things to keep in mind

Best surf usually comes during summer and early autumn typhoon swells.
Watch for strong currents, changing tides, and rocky sections near the beaches.
Bring enough water, sun protection, and supplies if you’re staying for the day.
