Shek O 石澳 is a small seaside village on the southeastern part of Hong Kong Island. It is located on a headland that juts into the sea like a crooked finger. This is one of those places where time seems to have stopped. The main road to the Shek O village is Shek O road. It passes through the Shek O Golf Course, after which you can catch glimpses of the sea to your left before arriving at the village.
Shek O village is one of those gritty coastal towns in Hong Kong with tofu-shaped houses. Within the town itself are a few eateries and shops selling everyday goods. At the village centre is a roundabout where one branch leads to the Shek O Mini-golf course while the other takes you further into the village. The houses huddled tightly together, right to the edge of the road, so you shouldn't stop your car midway.
If you follow the road right to the end, you would be rewarded with a scenic view of the sea. On the south side of the beach you can see the rest of Cape D'Aguilar.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
