Lying just west of Cheung Chau, off the southern coast of Lantau, Shek Kwu Chau (石鼓洲) is one of the quirkier islands in Hong Kong.
Though you can hike here, Sharp Island and its neighbours are most popular for activities focused on the shore and marine environment – especially swimming at two of the best beaches near Sai Kung, as well as snorkelling over coral. 
The Sokos are a tiny cluster of uninhabited islets south of west Lantau.
Cheung Chau (長洲) looks tiny on a map of Hong Kong, yet there's far more to it than may first appear. With coastal trails, beaches, small rural valleys, and a village dotted with temples but with only one (police) car, it boasts plenty to see and do in a day.
Though it lies just off southeastern Hong Kong Island, Po Toi (蒲台島) is easily overlooked when planning a rural outing. Yet there is fine hiking, excellent coastal scenery - and for birdwatchers, Po Toi is a migration hotspot.
Tung Ping Chau is set in the east of Mirs Bay. Though only 2km long, and relatively flat (rising to just 48 metres), Tung Ping Chau makes for a cracking - and relaxing - day out, or even overnight stay.
