Facing the South China Sea and on the south-eastern part of Hong Kong Island, Rocky Bay Beach is a small sandy beach behind the Shek O Beach. Due to its isolated location, the environment remains rustic and quiet, which is why many movies and music videos are produced there. The beach is not open for swimming due to its big waves and lifeguard service is not available.
