Deep Water Bay & Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club on Middle Island Look Down

This image is a look down of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club on Middle Island off the southern coast of Hong Kong Island, between Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay. To get there, I recommend taking the bus and then ferry (which is free!). Once you have arrived to the island, follow the GPS coordinates to get to the exact location I stood to launch my drone. The view will be below you! Alternatively, it's possible to launch your drone from the main island without having to get on a ferry across the river. I don't recommend this because the distance is quite far, but it can be done! By Bus & Ferry: - Bus number: 6A, 6X, 73, 260, 973,65 - Exit at the second stop after Deepwater Bay Beach ( 52 Island Road) - Follow small set of stairs with a sign “Middle Island” to a small pier on Seaview Promenade - Upon arriving to at the pier, you can take RHKYC’s free shuttle boat which departs every few minutes with the following schedule: + Monday – Thursday: 10am – 10.30 pm + Fri: 10am – 11.30pm + Sat: 7.30am – 11:30pm + Sun and public holidays: 7.30am – 10.30pm

All months are suitable to photograph the aerial view of Middle Island.

I recommend visiting during daytime to make use of the sunlight. The sun will accentuate the clear turquoise of the sea and the vibrant color of the mountains will pop against the sand.

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements.

Be respectful of other people enjoying the island when flying your drone.

It's a bit tricky to find the path to the main road. It's quite steep and has many steps under the water, so be careful!

Experiment with different framing of Deep Water Bay, the Yacht Club and the treelined Middle Island. I chose to have the coast line split my image diagonally.

There are two nice beaches, with cafes and food om either side at Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay.

Check out the Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay beaches, filled with good cafes and eateries on either sides of the island!
