Covering an area of roughly 5000 square meters, Cheoc Van Beach is a white sand beach that sits in a small bay located at the south end of Coloane Island. It is accessible through the road linking Coloane Village to Hac Sá. This beach is surrounded by green hills and offers a gorgeous view to the sun setting on the horizon at the end of the day. A popular spot amongst locals to spend a day by the sea, it is under lifeguard surveillance during the summer, making it safer for swimmers plus extra reassuring for those with small kids.
There are a few fun and pleasurable ways for beach goers to spend their time at Cheoc Van Beach. The beach features a nautical sports centre where sports gear may be rented plus different classes with an instructor may be booked. These classes include canoeing, windsurf and sailing. Changing rooms are available next to the sports centre. For those wishing to freshen up without a dive in the sea, there’s an area with outdoor showers too. In addition, an unassuming cafe – Cheoc Van Café – serves refreshments and a selection of local snacks.
Towards the end of the beachside pathway in Cheoc Van Beach, some palm trees offer a much needed shade during hot summer days. These shaded areas are the perfect spot to spread out a mat and set up a picnic while the kids play freely in nature. Near the palm trees lies La Gondola, a well-loved Italian restaurant that has one of the best alfresco dining areas in town. La Gondola is open throughout the day, every day of the week. Beside the restaurant lies Cheoc Van Swimming Pool, without a doubt one of the top public swimming pools in the city. Sitting right on top of the bay and backed by green hills its location is just stunning. (from Macau Lifestyle)

Filled with picturesque alleyways, narrow pedestrian roads, local fruit and vegetable stands, local restaurants and colonial style villas, Coloane Village is the ideal place for those looking for a relaxing and waterfront environment in Macau. Be it to reside or visit, Coloane village is one of the few areas in Macau nestled in the heart of nature. With several small businesses operating there, it offers a wide selection of local flavors and it’s the birthplace of Macau’s egg tarts, at Lord Stow’s Bakery. The village’s center also includes a popular Chinese restaurant, Nga Tim and some other attractions. Instagrammers will be attracted by colorful walls and urban art in the streets. It also has two Buddhist temples worth visiting: A-Má Temple and Tam Kuang Temple.
It is on the southernmost part of the island and a bit less touristy than other equally famous sights. Coloane Village is also home to local shops, historical churches and temples, and other traditional facades. The weekend does see an uptick in visitors, so try for a weekday if quiet is what you seek. It’s also a site with strong historical importance, where there were battles with sea pirates and other happenings. (from Macau Lifestyle)
