Repulse Bay Beach Hongkong

Repulse Bay is a nice area with lots of apartments, houses, and beaches. The main apartment building in Repulse Bay is The Repulse Bay. This building is known by its big hole in the middle. The beach was extended artificially, and thus the sand closer to the shore is coarser than that further away. Until the early 1960s, residential buildings were quite restricted.

Three blocks of six storey apartments were developed by Dr. P. P. Chiu and his brother P. W. Chiu, part way up the mountain overlooking Repulse Bay. These were luxury apartments with servants' quarters, with only two apartments per floor in Blocks A and B. Apartments in Block C are smaller. For a long time, these were the only apartments allowed on the mountain.


The Repulse Bay Tower was rebuilt on the site of the Repulse Bay Hotel. Now, it's a building for residence. In its front is the Repulse Bay Shopping Plaza. In it, many restaurants and shops can be found. The Repulse Bay beach stretches long with clear azure blue water gently lapping the seashore. Its sand is golden and soft. With water temperatures ranging from 16ºC (60.8ºF) to 26ºC (80.6ºF) year round, it is a mecca for locals and visitors alike to escape the heat. Repulse Bay beach has become one of Hong Kong’s most popular beaches because it is close to the city on Hong Kong Island and because it is relatively clean, cozy, has good public facilities like bathrooms and showers and is south facing.

Tourist on the beach can face the water and the sun, and the sun reflects off the glittering water and waves. Tourist can walk to the nearby restaurants and get refreshments and swim out into the small bay that is watched by lifeguards during the regular season. The temperatures are perfect in the summer for basking in the sun and enjoying playing.
