Dragon Beach [????- ]

Submitted by David on Fri, 2011-06-24 03:25

I've put a marker where Dragon Beach is shown on the government map website. But the satellite view shows there isn't much of a beach left today. It looks as though most of it has been reclaimed for the dual-carriageway.

This 1963 annual report says it was located at the "13 3/4 milestone, Castle Peak Road"

Lai Chi Kok Beach [????- ]

Submitted by David on Mon, 2011-01-24 18:14

This was a popular swimming beach, as it was the nearest beach to west Kowloon in the 1960s and 70s. A map dated 1979 (Hong Kong Streets & Places, Vol. 2) shows it being reclaimed. Today the nearest swimming beaches are out on Castle Peak Road, past Tsuen Wan.

not Repulse Bay as the Flickr description says. You can see the golf club, pre-Ocean Park Brick Hill, and what appears to be pillbox 015 on the coastal Island Road <Read more ...>
