Easy beach just a 10 min ferry ride from Pak Sai Wan. Great for families, have lifeguard and shop for drinks and snacks. You can also rent an umbrella for shade. Gets very busy on hot Sundays!
Take taxi to the Ferry Pier at Pak Sha Wan (10mins) then get either the blue of yellow sampan (water taxi) from the pier. Don't buy a return ticket as you can just buy it the ticket on the sampan when you come back and will not be restricted to which service you use. Tickets are $10 per person.

There is a small beach that's very shallow. It is best to wear beach shoes as sometimes there are things that can cut your feet in the water.
There is are a couple of Watersports Centres on the beach where you can hire kayaks, paddle boards, wind surfers etc at very reasonable prices
