The quietest corner of Macau: a small waterfront village facing mainland China, with wooded hills and two beaches behind it. This is also where Macau's egg tart story began, at a bakery that opened here in 1989.

Good to know

  • The village and Hac Sa Beach are a few kilometres apart, with buses between them.
  • Halal food is scarce in Coloane, so plan to eat in Cotai or on the peninsula.

Last checked October 2026. Things change, so check opening times, fees and transport before you go.
