Hac Sa Beach (黑沙海灘)

Hac Sa Beach and the South China Sea

Hac Sa Beach located in Coloane, is the largest natural beach in Macau. The name “Hac Sa” is a translation from Chinese, which literally refers to the famous black sand as seen near the shore of the beach above. The water is quite clean and suitable for swimming. Popular with locals and tourists, it does get busy over the weekends, but there is plenty of space and activities for everyone to enjoy. From jet-ski and sail boat hire, plus other water activities. Nearby are barbecue pits, a campsite and a few dining spots and shops selling snacks and souvenirs.

However, due to long term and constant erosion from water and rubbish being washed up the shore from the South China Sea and Mainland China, we decided to help clean up the beach that day as well, so at the end of the day we were able to experience the beach in its best form with no rubbish at all, which made for beautiful photos of the sunset from the beach.

Hac Sa Beach offers a great opportunity for tourists and locals to escape from the casinos and entertainment along the Cotai Strip and have a little bit of quiet time to relax and rest with fresh air, while enjoying some of the best views of the South China Sea in Macau.
