      Coloane, where the Portuguese defeated some pirates in 1910, is supposed to have the nicest beaches, but I found them muddy. Hac Sa is a black sand beach. Ka Ho is a white sand beach. Cheoc Van is best for swimming.

      Stretching for three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) in a gentle crescent, Hac Sa Beach offers Macau residents a seaside retreat from their hectic urban lives. Most locals say Hac Sa is the best of the three strips of sand on Coloane, as it is much larger than scenic Cheoc Van Beach.
