First Section Of East Coast Boardwalk In North Point Now Open!

The western section of the East Coast Boardwalk in North Point has just opened (January 26, 2025) and it’s a game-changer! This 1.1-kilometer stretch is the first part of a bigger project that’ll eventually give us a continuous 13-kilometer harbourfront promenade from Shau Kei Wan all the way to Kennedy Town. How cool is that?

Picture this: a spacious boardwalk where kids can run wild, cruise on their bikes and zoom around on their scooters (of course adults can do that too!). And the best part? It’s covered! So even if the sky decides to open up, your outdoor plans won’t be rained out.

But that’s not all. This boardwalk is packed with neat features. It’s got Hong Kong’s first movable bascule and swing bridges in Victoria Harbour. There’s cascade seating for those perfect sunset views, a play area for the little ones, fitness equipment for the health nuts, and even a fishing platform for those who like to cast a line.
Getting there is a breeze with three easy access points near MTR stations. And guess what? It’s open 24/7, except for the swing bridge, which takes a little nighttime break from 11 pm to 6 am.
