    EPD - Beach Water Quality Beach Water Quality in Hong Kong 2014 Our Mission: To safeguard the health and welfare of the community and meet conservation goals by working to achieve and maintain the Water Quality Objective for bathing beaches [Photo: Beaches in Hong Kong are popular places for both local people and tourists to enjoy their leisure time] Introduction Hong Kong has many beautiful and attractive beaches with white sands along its long and twisting coastline. Each year, millions of beach-goers enjoy bathing in these beaches with clean water. The objective of the Environmental Protection Department (EPD)'s Beach Water Quality Monitoring Programme is to monitor beach water quality and protect the health of bathers. The background and details of the EPD's monitoring activities can be found at its Hong Kong Water Quality Resource Centre (HKWQRC) website (http://wqrc.epd.gov.hk) or its beach water quality thematic website (http://www.beachwq.gov.hk). [Photo: The beach is a perfect place for kids to play and enjoy sunshine] This report summarises the beach monitoring data collected in 2014, the gradings of the beaches and their annual compliance with the Water Quality Objective (WQO) for bathing beaches. In 2014, the EPD monitored 41 gazetted beaches and three non-gazetted beaches in different parts of the territory. The gazetted beaches were monitored weekly during the bathing season from March to October. EPD staff made field observations and collected samples for laboratory analyses of Escherichia coli (E. coli) as the bacteriological water quality indicator. EPD staff also took measurements of dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, temperature and turbidity of beach water.

  • SDC Paper No. 15/2021 Annex 1
    Annex 1 (Translation) 2 July 2021 Mr LO Kin-hei Chairman, Southern District Council 3 Aberdeen Praya Road, Southern District, Hong Kong Dear Chairman, Proposed Agenda Item for the Southern District Council Meeting on 8 July 2021: Follow up the Lifeguard Service for Beaches in the Southern District The 12 public beaches on Hong Kong Island are all located in the Southern District. Given that the Government has gradually reopened the beaches with the easing of the epidemic and summer has begun, many members of the public are going to use the public beaches in the Southern District. Unfortunately, Hong Kong has been short on lifeguard services for a long time. Coupled with a gradual increase in the number of beach users, accidents arising from a lack of lifeguard services occur frequently. Over the first half of this year, there have already been more than ten drowning cases in which members of the public drowned while swimming at beaches without lifeguards. A recent example in the Southern District was a 60-year-old man who drowned and died while swimming in Turtle Cove on 1 June 2021. The Turtle Cove Beach, where the incident took place, had no lifeguards on duty due to insufficient manpower. According to the Hong Kong Drowning Report published by the Department of Health in September 2019, for the 193 drowning cases from 2012 to 2016, beaches were the location with the second highest number of drowning deaths (about 59 persons died from drowning). According to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD)’s long-standing arrangements, LCSD suspends lifeguard services at some of the gazetted beaches under its purview during winter, from November to March every year.
