Winter at the BeachPhotos and text by Cherry Lam In early January, temperatures tend to hover around 20 degrees Celcius, there are no life guards at Shek O or Repulse Bay beaches. The changing rooms may be closed, but visitors can nevertheless enjoy themselves in the expanse of sand, sunshine, and relative tranquility. For people who lead stressful lives, beaches are places of relaxation-- and above all, places to enjoy alternative leisure in the winter months.
Shek O's visitors are not saddened by the setting sun.
"We shall overcome... (the surf, that is.)"
Kids, sunshine, and a beach -- a good partnership.
The beach is an ideal place for flying kites.
Lovers lean into the wind and rain.
