Interesting Facts
At night, sometimes the water at Silverstrand Beach appears to be fluorescent silver-blue. This occurs when something disturbs the water's surface and microscopic plankton sense danger, emitting light as part of its defence mechanism. This sighting is unique to Silverstrand Beach and is not witnessed at other beaches in Hong Kong.
