The Sea Ranch
The Sea Ranch (澄碧邨) is a housing estate developed by Hutchison Whampoa Properties in the late 1970s at Yi Long Wan (二浪灣) on Chi Ma Wan Peninsula.
The Sea Ranch is only reachable from the sea as it is located on the coastline of the Lantau South Country Park and has no road access. Ferries from Central Pier no. 5 in Central take 30 minutes, then another ferry from Cheung Chau takes 15 minutes. The ferry from Cheung Chau is free for residents and their invited guests, as the cost is included in the management fee paid by the residents. Only residents and their guests are allowed to visit the property.
There are no shops or restaurants within the estate and for this reason it is unique in Hong Kong. The original clubhouse and sporting facilities have been closed for a number of years and the estate is now a tranquil and peaceful enclave on the South Lantau coast.

Famous quotes containing the word sea:
“Rain patters on a sea that tilts and sighs.
Fast-running floors, collapsing into hollows,
Tower suddenly, spray-haired.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
