Wok Tai Wan is basically a bay that is located over the north western coasts of the famous Tsing Yi Island, in Hong Kong. The Wok Tai Wan beach is basically famous as a nudist paradise. One of the chief reasons behind this is that it was quite difficult to access the beach on foot due to the high hills in its region. Also, the turbulence in the nearby sea made it very difficult for the small boasts to access the Wok Tai Wan beach. As a result, the region slowly emerged as a swimming paradise for the nudists. The first nudist club was set up in the year 1932 in Sha Tin and the members of this club were the first ones to venture into the Wok Tai Wan beach.
