Vanessa - Olivia Pascal (1977) - Joss House Bay, Tseung Kwan O

At one point in the film, Vanessa and her new friend from the house go and do some naked sunbathing on a secluded beach. It took me a while to find this place because it has really changed beyond recognition. This was a beach at the very tip of the Tseung Kwan O peninsula that is currently part of the so called Area 137 Fill Bank - an area of recently reclaimed land between Junk island (Fat Tong Chau) and Tit Cham Chau. In fact, a tiny part of Tit Cham Chau can just be seen poking into screen from the right in the top screen grab. The large island in the background is Tung Lung Chau and the smaller islet just beyond the beach is Kwun Tsai.

Sadly, the beach is no more and has been absorbed into the reclamation to become a concrete hard standing with a pier on it. But the outlook hasn't changed much. Sadly, these are the only images I can show that keep the blog within the "safe for work" category. There are some other grabs that show the view back towards HK Island.
