I was a bit disappointed when I come to Stanley Beach and Market. The beach which is 5 mins walk from the bus terminal is hardly a beach. Although they provide lockers, showers and prohibit dogs, the beach is not a beach to me. It hardly stretches along the shoreline and the shoreline is too near to the concrete part of the beach. So the sandy beaches where visitors are supposed to lay their mats and relax or play beach volleyball is too small.
The market is not like any market I've been to elsewhere. I would imagine the market situated in one big space in the centre of Stanley area. It is actually rows of shops in some small narrow lanes. You can find them in Hong Kong town area itself. Plus the stuff sold here are just the same elsewhere.
Maybe the main reason to be here is to get away from the main busy town area and maybe relax, enjoy the sun, sand and the sea. Leave a Comment Directions: Take Bus 6 from Central or 973 from TST.

Stanley Market is a street market in Stanley on the southern side of Hong Kong Island. The street is a typical example of a traditional old open-air market in Hong Kong and has since become a major tourist attraction, well known for its bargains. Many of the stalls or shops sell Hong Kong souvenirs as well as clothing - particularly silk garments, shoes and traditional Chinese dress - toys, ornaments, luggage, souvenirs, and Chinese arts and crafts. It's fairly small and is nice to wander around even if you're not planning on buying anything. Leave a Comment

There are 3 beaches in Stanley: one more rocks than beach but with a small strip of sand (immediately adjacent to the temple and the end of the market): the second, the City Beach - a long and popular strip - head off in the opposite direction to the market when getting off the bus - it's a few minutes to the beach: the third, and nicest, is a 10-15 minutes walk towards the headland. St Stephen's Beach is on the way to the fort (not open to the public) and the Military Cemetery (you can see St Stephens from the rocky beach and the restaurants) - a smallish cove with safe bathing and virtually no-one on it. Amazing considering the sardines on the main town beach. Leave a Comment

You have to take a train to HOng Kong Island, Admiralty MTR station, and from there, the minibus 40 to Stanley Market.
I found this small enclave of shops most charming as they are linked by walkways that make it into a covered bazaar.
You can find most of the touristy, kitschy shops there selling everything from bedlinens, souvenirs, jewellery, art reproductions to outlet shopping, and more...
The minibus ride costs something like 90 Hong Kong dollars and be sure to have exact change as you drop it into a box and the driver doesn't give you any change. The ride through a scenic coastal part of HOng Kong island on a slightly hilly and winding road is quite pleasant and should take you only about 30 mins or so to reach.
There's a seafront promenade of sorts with a number of small hotels and eateries for meals and is really lovely and relaxed. Leave a Comment
