Big Wave Bay
This fine and often deserted beach is located 2km to the north of Shek O. To get to Big Wave Bay follow the road north out of town, travel past the 18-hole Shek O Golf & Country Club (2809 4458; Shek O Rd), then turn east at the roundabout and keep going until the road ends.

Discovery Bay
Lying on the northeastern coast of Lantau, what locals have dubbed 'DB' is very much a world of its own, a dormitory community for professionals who commute to Central. Discovery Bay (Yue Ging Wan in Cantonese) has a fine stretch of sandy beach ringed by high-rises and more luxurious condominiums clinging to the headland to the north - but there is no pressing need to visit except to ogle at residents in their converted golf carts that cost around HK$200,000 a pop. There is a handful of decent restaurants in Discovery Bay Plaza just up from the ferry pier and the central plaza and the 27-hole Discovery Bay Golf Club perched in the hills to the southwest.

Hung Shing Yeh Beach
About a 25-minute walk southeast from the Yung Shue Wan ferry pier, Hung Shing Yeh Beach is the most popular beach on Lamma. But arrive early in the morning or on a weekday and you'll probably find it deserted. The beach is protected by a shark net and has toilets, showers and changing rooms, but the view of the power station across the bay takes some getting used to.

Lo So Shing Beach
If you continue south from Hung Shing Yeh Beach, the path climbs steeply until it reaches a Chinese-style pavilion near the top of the hill. From this vantage point, it becomes obvious that the island is mostly hilly grassland and large boulders, though more and more trees are being planted.

South Lantau Road
Just under 5km southwest of Mui Wo, Pui O is the first of several coastal villages along South Lantau Rd. Pui O has a decent beach, but as it's the closest one to Mui Wo it can get very crowded. The village has several restaurants, holiday flats galore and, in season, stalls renting bicycles. There's also a decent restaurant right on Pui O Beach called Ooh La La!.

Tung Wan Beach
Tung Wan Beach, Cheung Chau's longest and most popular (though not its prettiest) beach lies at the end of Tung Wan Rd, due east of the ferry pier. The best part of Tung Wan is the far southern end, which is a great area for windsurfing. Just south of Tung Wan Beach, Kwun Yam Wan Beach is known to English speakers as Afternoon Beach and is a great spot for windsurfing.
