9Repulse Bay, Hong Kong

Why It’s the Worst: Overcrowded, artificial feel, and nearby high-rise buildings.
Repulse Bay in Hong Kong is known for its popularity, but its charm is diminished by overcrowding and commercialization.

High-rise buildings line the bay, taking away from the natural beach experience. During peak season, the beach is packed with people, leaving little room to relax, and some visitors report the artificial beach feels disappointing. This beach is more a spot for locals to gather than a scenic paradise for travelers.

What to Expect: Crowds, noise, and a city backdrop rather than natural scenery.
