A BETTER BEACH FOR SWIMMERS ******
FACILITIES FOR SWIMMERS AT SOUTH BAY BEACH ON HONG KONG ISLAND WILL BE GREATLY IMPROVED, IN TIME FOR THE NEXT SWIMMING SEASON.
THE IMPROVEMENT WILL TAKE THE FORM OF A BEACH BUILDING WHICH INCLUDES A COMMUNAL SHOWER, CHANGING ROOMS FOR MEN AND WOMEN, AND A REFRESHMENT KIOSK, ON THE ROOF LEVEL WITH OPEN SITTING AREA.
THE BUILDING, SITUATED IN THE SOUTH WESTERN PART OF THE BAY AND CONNECTED TO SOUTH BAY ROAD WITH A FOOTPATH, WILL ALSO HAVE AN OFFICE-CUM-FIRST AID ROOM AND A CATAMARAN STORE.
WHEN COMPLETED, IT WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING TWO SHEDS WHICH, WHILE USED FOR CHANGING PURPOSES ONLY, ARE FOUND TO BE INADEQUATE AS THE BEACH BECOMES MORE POPULAR.
CONSTRUCTION WORK IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN EARLY NEXT YEAR, TAKING ABOUT FOUR MONTHS TO FINISH.
