Rocky Bay Beach

Rocky Bay Beach is a gazetted beach located behind Shek O Beach in Shek O, Southern District, Hong Kong. The beach is managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government. The beach did not get its grading and it is currently not open for swimming as no lifeguard facilities are available.

History
In 1988, due to the discharge of sewage from the Shek O Village and squatter areas in the hinterland into the beach area, the beach had to be closed for swimming.

On 16 October 2012, a 56-year-old man fell into the sea and had drowned near the beach while he was drinking alcohol. He was rescued by two police officers of the Marine Region and he was rushed by a speedboat to the Marine Regional Headquarters in Sai Wan Ho. He was then taken by an ambulance to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Usage
The beach is currently not open for swimming due to the lack of facilities and lifeguard services available at the beach. It also offers views of Tung Lung Chau.
