How to Get There
The optimum way to view the Bluff Head
Formation is by hiring a boat, and cruising
slowly along the northern shoreline of the
Tolo Channel to Bluff Head. Depending
upon the state of the tide, it is interesting
to go ashore and observe the outcrops in
detail.
Pak Sha Tau Chau can be reached by
taking bus (No. 75K) from Tai Po Market
KCR Station via Ting Kok Road to the
Country Park entrance at Tai Mei Tuk, an
area that is a popular destination for
outdoor leisure activities, such as fishing,
cycling and water sports.
From Tai Mei Tuk, the geological
localities at Pak Sha Tau Chau can be
reached by walking along the main dam of
the Plover Cove Reservoir (see the Route
Plan). From the end of the dam, there is a
footpath leading to Pak Sha Tau Pier,
about 1.2 km away. The Devonian outcrop
is visible on the western side of the pier,
and can be reached by walking along the
coast.
