While the water may not be of the best quality, I appreciate the scenic view and the fact that it's not overly crowded. There are plenty of shaded areas to set up a tent or simply relax, although the number of changing rooms is limited. However, the shower areas make up for this shortfall.

The view of the sea from this garden is truly breathtaking, especially on clear days with low tides when you can see the beautiful sight of seaweed covering the rocks. We even spotted a large group of jellyfish, although I'm not sure I'd be comfortable swimming at the unofficial beach due to the abundance of jellyfish. To get there, take the Tsuen Wan West MTR and then hop on Bus 53, getting off at Pearl Island.
