Shelter Cove Marina

I’m not actually too sure I’m being correct in writing about the Marina Restaurant here– but here goes. The Shelter Cove Marina (otherwise known as Hong Kong Marina), is one of a handful of places in Hong Kong where you are park/​moore your dinghy or yatch in Hong Kong. I say a handful because this is afterall still quite a fancy and expensive past time here, despite being surrounded by the sea on 3 sides. Coming to the marina itself is a bit of an out-​of-​town experience, leaving the Sai Kung highway you will find yourself twisting through country lanes and village houses, before suddenly heading down a hill and discovering that you are literally right on the side of the cove. The view is magnificent but you have to be careful if you were driving here in the evening.
At the end of the path you will find a wide opening and you have arrived at the Hong Kong Marina. You park on the side of the marina and several jetties jut out to the different yatchs and speedboats which have been parked here. Behind you will find the pinkish/​brown looking club house which has a restaurant called «The Terrace». It has both inside and outside seating and depending on the weather I think sitting outside is a must.
The menu isn’t exactly a huge one but the choices are quite wide– on one hand you will have paellas but on the other you will have local offerings like baked pork chop rice. I am happy to report that the food here is extremely good and fitting for the wondering setting you find yourself in. I haven’t tried the wine as I was driving was told it was ok.
Bring CASH– they don’t take cards and you will not find an ATM machine anywhere here.
