The beach was gazetted by the Hong Kong Government and opened in 1972.
In June and August 2015, the beach had to be temporarily closed due to oil pollution at the sea that caused the public not to swim at the beach.[3][4] The beach had to be temporarily closed in August 2017 also due to oil pollution.[5]
Usage
As the beach is remote from both of the ferry piers on Lamma Island, it is particularly quiet. Since reaching the beach requires some walking, it is often practically deserted even on weekends. The beach is accessible from the Lamma Island Family Walk.[6]
