The Number 1 Beach Destination in Hong Kong

Do you want to stay all day in a long stretch of a bay with beaches that are almost too pretty to swim in? In a place surrounded by trees that all make up a great scenic view. Plus, the ground is covered with soft and refined white sand and you can’t help but bury your bare feet in—check out Repulse Bay, Hong Kong.

Repulse Bay belongs to the top destinations in the southern part of Hong Kong. It is also one of the most luxurious tourist spots and the most famous among all of Hong Kong beaches. 

Today, we will give you a quick guide on Repulse Bay Beach so you can get the most out of your Hong Kong trip. 

So, here we go!  

Why is Repulse Bay, Hong Kong Called Repulse Bay?

‘Repulse’ by definition means to drive back or attack by force. How come a lovely and calm bay is named after such an aggressive term? 

Answer: Back in 1841, the bay was taken over by pirates and they lived there. It is a perfect spot where they can easily steal things from ships passing by. 

Now, to protect the ships from being hijacked, the British Fleet attacked or repulsed the pirates and their base in the bay.  

The British Fleet won and the name stuck—that is why Repulse Bay, Hong Kong, is called Repulse Bay!
