I think this or one of the others named was also called Coffee Beach. Lots of big,creamy-coloured jelly fish with long trailing tentacles and a first aid tent there always manned to daub 'cream' on painful whiplash stings.
Let me write down the list while we're talking about them. I'm using "Hong Kong Streets & Place. Volume 2, Kowloon & The New Territories", reprinted in 1979.

11 and half mile beach
Hi Mike,
Do you remember any other name for the beach? A map from the 70s shows these beaches between Milstones 11 & 12:
Castle Peak Beach

Let me write down the list while we're talking about them. I'm using "Hong Kong Streets & Place. Volume 2, Kowloon & The New Territories", reprinted in 1979.
Heading from Tsuen Wan towards Tuen Mun we have:
MS10
MS11
MS12
MS13
MS14
<no beaches marked>
MS18
"MS" refers to the Milestone.
Could Cafeteria Beach and Coffee Beach be the same?
Regards, David
Coffee Beach
Cafiteria Beach at 18MS was Coffee Beach in Chinese (Ga Fair Wan). We lived at Dunrose at 18.5MS 1950-53.

Thanks Lawrence.
I've made Places for the beaches listed above. Does anyone have any photos of them to show us?
