In 1977, the beach was gazetted by the Hong Kong Government and is located under Ting Kau Village. However, in 1995, the beaches in Tsuen Wan District were closed due to the construction of the nearby Ting Kau and Tsing Ma Bridges and no longer allowed the public to swim due to its poor water quality.[4]
In 1997, a reading at the beach had revealed 1,500 counts of the bacteria per 100ml of water.[5]
The beach has been reopened to the public for swimming since April 2014.[6]
