Clearwater Bay Peninsula is a typical submergent coast. Submergence of the coastal plains was resulted either by subsidence during crustal movement or by the rise of sea level many millennia ago. Given this geological history, the country park is a showcase of unique landforms and topographic features. Whether you are into serious geological studies or just a lover of natural landscape, Clearwater Bay has a lot to offer.
There are several country trails within the borders of Clearwater Bay Country Park. Hikers can select one that suits their interest and ability. There is also a visitor centre to offer information and guidance. To get there, take KMB bus no. 91 to Tai Au Mun, then walk for about 1 km to the carpark at the end of Clearwater Bay Road. A small path leads to the visitor centre.
Clearwater Bay Country Park is renowned for rocky uplands and emerald waters. After enjoying the grand vistas at High Junk Peak, why not go on to Tai Leng Tung for a show of extraordinary landforms? Rising up 291 metres, the peak envelops the eastern corner of Clearwater Bay. Under this magnificent crest, the long wave swept seashore unfolds. A path leads from Lung Ha Wan to a high point, where you can see weathered rocks exposed along the coast. Down below, the foothills flaunt narrow strips of golden volcanic rock. Farther out, the serrated profile of the Ninepins commands a defined presence.
