Most Popular Beaches in Macau

Macau has the unique distinction of free port city and UNESCO World Heritage Status. Among its many exciting tourist attractions are its beautiful beaches. Escape the city and crowds to experience Macau’s beaches during the summer. Anticipate plenty of fresh salty air, relaxation and family friendly beach activities and fun. Macau’s two main beaches are set on beautiful stretches of coastline on the southern side of Coloane Island. The largest and most well-known beach is Hac Sa Beach, meaning ‘black sand’ in Chinese. The beach is four kilometers long and is famous for its black sand. It gets its unique color from minerals in the seabed that are washed ashore. The water is quite clean and suitable for swimming. Popular with locals and tourists, there is plenty of space and activities for everyone to enjoy – from jet-ski and sail boat hire, and other fun water activities. There are also barbecue pits, a campsite and a few dining spots and shops selling snacks and souvenirs nearby. Across the road is Hac Sa Sports and Recreation Park, where facilities include a pool with a kids wading area, tennis courts, a large playground and a small race track with electric motorbikes for hire – for little ones. Have a delicious meal at Fernandoes, renowned for serving the best Portuguese food in town. After lunch, take a stroll along the boardwalk and enjoy the exquisite views of South China Sea.
