Cheung Chau Beach


On Sunday we caught the ferry to Cheung Chau. It took about 30 minutes from Central Pier.

The ferry waterfront is lined with shops and seafood restaurants. Suds bought a quicksilver hat for $6!! Good deal!





Fish tanks outside of a restaurant.
There are some wacky creatures in there! The tank in the far back that looks like it has two rocks in it? Those are huge shells with some sort of craw fish in it!





A temple













These racks are filled with shrimp that are drying in the sun.
















Not the greatest picture, but at least you can see the beach behind us.

The beach was nice; with fine sand , shark nets and visited by families mainly. The lifeguards go out into the water on rafts that they steer with poles (like gondoliers) An extra part of their job was scooping garbage out of the water.

It was SO hot this day I actually went into the water. We just swam past the floating plastic trash and the water was nice and warm.
