Located in the southern part of Hong Kong Island, Repulse Bay is the most spectacular bay in the region. Repulse Bay is the most famous beach in Hong Kong. The Chinese name means "Shallow Water Bay". The English name came from the fact that the British army had chased off some pirates in the old days.

The beach stretches long with clear azure blue water gently lapping the seashore. Its sand is golden and soft. With water temperatures ranging from 16 C (60.8F) to 26 C (80.6F) year round, it is a mecca for locals and visitors alike to escape the heat. this place is pretty much standing room only in summer. But if you are from cold places where 20 degrees Celcius is just right for sun-bathing, November is the great time of year to go to avoid the crowds.
