Hac Sa Beach
The longest and most popular beach of Macau is the Hac Sa Beach. Named after its unique black-tinged sand ("hac sa" means "black sand") offers a good walk from Westin at one end to the residential peninsula at the other end.
The beach facilities include a youth hostel, a Youth Centre for Water Sports, a sports complex with an Olympic-size swimming pool, children's pool, tennis courts, and a sports field. There are also playgrounds, picnic and camping areas, and a variety of snack stands, cafes, and restaurants. The world famous Fernando's Restaurant is located here.
At one end is the Westin Resort Hotel Macau which is a 208 room hotel located near the beachfront of Coloane. Built in 1993, the Westin Resort Hotel is synonymous with excellent accomodation and fine service.
Just 4 kilometers from the heart of Macau, the Westin Resort Hotel Macau is recommended for both business and leisure travellers as it meets the stringent requirements of tour operators world-wide.
The Westin major attraction is the golf links above the hotel.
Designed by Mr Hiroshi Ikeda, the par 71 18 hole Championship Golf course is located on the roof top of Westin Resort Macau. Many renowned golf personalities who tee off on this challenging golf course include Englishman Lee Westwood and Nick Faldo, Fijian Vijay Singh, Northern Ireland Darren Clarke, American John Daly and Mark O'Meara, Scottish Colin Montgomerie and Irishman Padriag Harrington and Chinese Zhang Lianwei.
If you are good for some hiking (maxmum 2 hours) you can climb from the beach towards the Colaane hill's network of well-maintained hiking trails. It is also possible to join the main Coloane Trail, which circles the island at a height of about 100 metres above sea level, from various points on Coloane Peak. The main trailhead is on the Estrada do Alto de Coloane, near the Recreational Fishing Zone.
Trail maps are available at the information booth at the entrance to Seac Pai Van Park and at the trailheads. The trails are accessible from Seac Pai Van Park, from the various roadside picnic parks on the island, and from both Cheoc Van and Hac Sa beaches.
