silvermine bay beach (銀鑛灣泳灘), which is a grade 1 beach, is the easiest one to get to, since it is located about a 5-minute walk away from the mui wo ferry pier. since there is a sandbar area, this beach is ideal for flinging frisbees or flying kites. further along the beach is a swimming area with several lifeguards on duty. many visitors rent a bike for the afternoon, and stop off at the many refreshment kiosks and little restaurants along the road fronting the beach. if people do not feel like hurrying back into the city, they can also choose to stay overnight at the silvermine beach hotel, located right on the waterfront. also, there are several other hotels and guesthouses in the area where people can stay.
