Often described as Hong Kong's tropical paradise in the New Territories, Clearwater Bay which is located at the northeastern end of the Territories, seems far removed from the busy streets of Hong Kong.
With two beaches aptly named First and Second Beach, this idyllic district has become the place to live for expat families who need more space and to be close to international schools. It is also a popular location amongst professionals just looking for a quieter beach bum lifestyle, a great place to have a dog, and access to all the recreational activities you can dream up.
Both beaches are consistently named as the best beaches in Hong Kong, with clear glittering turquoise water and pristine clean white sand the summers are not complete for local residents without a swim to start off the day or in the evenings a good way to relax and blow away the cobwebs of a busy working day. Both beaches are swim safe for families with shark nets having been installed.
The area will satisfy any recreational pursuit from family-friendly weekend strolls to some of the most challenging hiking trails around, the Clearwater Bay Country Park surrounds you. One such trail is to High Junk Peak, a moderate hike and offers unobstructed views of Clear Water Bay and Tseung Kwan O from the summit. You can take a number of connecting trails in the Country Park and navigate to Sai Kung all with spectacular views and hidden coves. The calm waters in the area make for great paddle boarding and kayaking amongst the many bays and inlets.
For those looking for the exclusive side of living in Clearwater Bay take out a membership at the privately-owned Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club. This is a members-only club and is located on the Clearwater Bay peninsula. The spectacular 18 hole waterfront golf course, with views to die for, annually hosts the PGA Tour China Open and in 2020 will play host to the World Amateur Team Championships. The Marina and Clubhouse offers full boating facilities and services including a typhoon shelter, on site fuelling and all maintenance and repairs. Playgrounds, helicopter pads, swimming pools, BBQ pits, sweeping lawns, and fine dining are just part of the benefits of belonging to this club and reciprocal members rights with many exclusive golf clubs worldwide.
As a location, Cape Silver Road is an excellent choice for families to live, with a number of luxury townhouse and house developments such as Hawaii Gardens, La Casa Bella, Scenic View and Solemar Villas. This style of development offers residents the privacy of a house, yet the convenience of great facilities and security on site with little to no maintenance.
The designer houses are exceptionally spacious and well laid out over 3 levels offering 3 to 4 bedrooms with maids quarters. Some come with their own swimming pools, and others have beautiful gardens, shared and private, and pretty much all come with the spectacular views out over the bay and beaches. All come with their own private and covered car parks.
For those wanting to make up their own rules, Clearwater Bay is a maze of small scattered villages, each with perhaps only a handful of houses, some at the beach and many tucked away in the jungle-like natural bushland. The village houses are all of a standard size of 2100 sq ft over 3 levels. You can find original condition homes, and have fun renovating to your own taste, or you can go for the completely remodelled with stylish modern interiors and fitted out with all the latest modern technology. You will find an eclectic mix of neighbours living amongst these villages, from local villagers, maybe even the village chief, a wide mix of expats to wealthy professional families.
Clearwater Bay area is well catered to for supermarkets and specialty shops and only a short drive to the larger shopping malls in Hang Hau. There are a number of restaurants close by or you can take a short drive or taxi to Sai Kung, where you will find a further treasure trove of delicious and varied international-style restaurants and cafes.
The schools in the area cater for kindergarten and primary with a short commute to the secondary and international schools, including The Australian International School, Sunshine House International pre-school, Hong Kong Adventist Academy and the American International School.
Most residents of Clearwater Bay find it beneficial to own a car.
