The beach at Sea Ranch is the only public area along the once high-end luxury resort built in the 1970s. Only a few residents live in the area now, all of which are dependent on a private ferry to bring supplies in from Cheung Chau Island. The beach features three lime kilns which are designated as ‘protected for display’ and buried behind tiled retaining walls.
