Cheoc Van Bay

Washed ashore on Cheoc Van Bay, a weathered message in a bottle sparked whispers of pirates seeking shelter in Coloane’s coves. Cheoc Van Bay, also known as Bamboo Bay, is a tranquil escape on Coloane Island, Macau. Unlike its larger, black-sand counterpart, Hac Sa Beach, Cheoc Van Bay boasts golden sands perfect for sunbathing and play. The bay’s gentle curve embraces the South China Sea, offering a designated swimming area where even in winter, members of the Winter Swimmers Association brave the chilly waters. Families flock to Cheoc Van Bay, drawn by the calm, clear waters and the inviting sands. Children explore the rock pools while parents relax under the shade of palm trees. The nearby Cheoc Van Swimming Pool provides another refreshing option, open from May to October, its location between the sea and mountains offers breathtaking views. For a taste of Italy on the beach, Ristorante La Gondola offers wood-oven pizzas, fresh seafood, and tempting ice cream on its seafront terrace. If local snacks are more your style, the Cheoc Van Beach Cafe offers a variety of quick bites and refreshments. As the sun sets over the horizon, casting a golden glow on Cheoc Van Bay, the whispers of pirates fade into the gentle lapping of the waves, leaving behind a sense of peace and tranquility.
