Sail Out and Explore

坐船出海尋幽

位於新界東部的西貢面向西貢海，區內多個公眾碼頭有定期及租借船隻，前往附近多個島嶼，也是到西貢的主打活動。乘船約15分鐘，可到已有數百

年歷史的鹽田梓。島上居民搬離後，仍保留大量歷史古蹟，包括曾多次獲聯合國教科文組織頒發獎項、屬三級歷史建築的聖約瑟小堂；島上亦不時設藝術展覽吸引遊人。另乘街渡十多分鐘，可到著名的橋咀島，島上有泳灘、燒烤場等設施，還可到訪橋咀地質郊野公園。至於在滘西洲，有另一法定古蹟洪聖古廟；滘西灣的垂釣樂園，絕對讓熱愛釣魚人士樂而忘返。

Situated on the east side of the New Territories, facing Port Shelter, Sai Kung has a number of public piers.

Island hopping is one of the main activities for tourists and day-trippers, with numerous ferry and boat rental services along the pier that can take you to some of the most magical islands in the area. A short, 15-minute ferry ride away lies Yim Tin Tsai, a small island that once housed a local village for hundreds of years before it was abandoned in the 1990s. Former residents left behind a treasure trove of relics, including St Joseph’s Chapel, a Hong Kong Grade III historic building that has received multiple awards from the UNESCO for its conservation efforts. In addition, the island also hosts various arts exhibitions to help visitors better understand the local history and culture. Another option is board a kaito at Sai Kung Public Pier and arrive at Sharp Island (also just 15 minutes away). Sharp Island is home to some of Hong Kong’s most beautiful beaches, equipped with barbecue facilities as well as Kiu Tsui Country Park. Kau Sai Chau Island, on the other hand, is home to historic monument Hung Shing Temple, and a fishing club in Kau Sai Wan that is perfect for a family fun day out.
