About this spot

Megaloop Kite School moves to Pui O in summer and launches at the left-hand end of the beach. Let's Kite describes a wide foreshore at low tide, relatively flat water in the bay and a March–August season, peaking in June.

Most rideable hours are 7–12 knots — big-kite territory.

Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from the Kiteboarding Association of Hong Kong's training-spot page, Megaloop Kite School's directions page, the Let's Kite Pui O card and the Unplug Shek O card. Pins are approximate; tide timing matters on the Lantau flats. Water temperature follows the association's ranges (15–26 °C December–March, 26–30 °C April–November). Needs local verification.
