Sam A
Sam A is a hidden gem, accessible by a 45-minute walk from Lai Chi Wo. Along the way, you can enjoy the serene coastal views of Yan Chau Tong Marine Park and the precious mangroves, where you might spot crabs and mudskippers. The highlight of Sam A is its pink rock beach, formed 180 million years ago during the Middle Jurassic period through multiple volcanic eruptions. The high iron content in the rocks has oxidised over time, giving them their distinctive pink hue. Sam A Village is one of the seven villages of Hing Chun Yeuk, featuring stone-paved paths flanked by lush greenery, offering a retreat into nature and a rejuvenating experience for visitors.
