On the island, there are two beaches - Sharp Island Beach and Ha Men Wan Beach. Sharp Island Beach extends from north to west and has a convenience store supplying bottled water, soft drinks, and snacks, as well as changing rooms for bathing and changing clothes. Ha Men Wan Beach also has a convenience store and changing rooms. It takes about an hour to paddle from Ha Men Wan Beach to Sharp Island Beach and about 1.5 hours to paddle from Ha Men Wan Beach.

Half Moon Bay, originally named Hap Mun Bay, is situated on Sharp Island in Sai Kung. Legend has it that the alternate name "Half Moon Bay" originated from a misunderstanding due to the similarity in pronunciation between the English name of Hap Mun Bay and "half moon." Additionally, it presents a charming crescent shape.
In recent years, Half Moon Bay has become one of the most popular beaches, attracting swimming enthusiasts who appreciate clean, fine sand and convenient transportation. Its azure skies and crystal-clear waters have earned Half Moon Bay the reputation of being the "most beautiful public beach in Hong Kong."
No one has ever known the origin of the name Whisky Bay. Due to the fact that only kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, or speedboats can reach it, the area is relatively secluded. Similar to Half Moon Bay, Whisky Bay's crystal-clear waters and white sandy beach are enchanting. During the months of March and April, there are numerous sea urchins along Whisky Bay, so swimmers should be careful not to step on them while swimming on the beach!

It weighs less compared to the miscellaneous branded kayaks on the market, adopting a multi-layer design to reduce the chance of water ingress due to damage. Its fluid dynamics design significantly lowers the water resistance during movement, making it a dominant player among platform-style kayaks, suitable for intermediate to advanced kayaking enthusiasts.
The streamlined design helps to propel through waves and significantly reduces drag, but the narrow hull of the kayak can make sitting in the front seat a bit awkward. It's recommended for friends with smaller body types to sit in that position.
The carrying capacity of a pointed kayak is lower than that of a wide kayak, making it unsuitable for overnight camping or heavier individuals (total weight not exceeding 170kg).
Our wide-bodied kayak features a wider hull, with an additional space in the middle to accommodate a child. Theoretically, it's designed as a 2+1 kayak, allowing three people to ride together as long as their combined weight does not exceed 200kg. Some pet owners also bring their pets along for the sea adventure.
Our stand-up paddleboards are of the 'All-around SUP' style, featuring a wider board for easier balance, making them particularly suitable for beginners.
