Most local facilities are found at Stanley or Repulse Bay. Chung Hom Kok has a good public beach at the end of the peninsula. The beaches at both Stanley and Chung Hom Kok are very popular and can be crowded on the weekends and during the summer.

There are some excellent restaurants along the waterfront in Stanley and on weekends the road is closed allowing for al fresco dining, giving the feel of a Mediterranean beachfront.
