The Leisure and Cultural Services Department announced on October 22, 2026, that lifesaving services at Trio Beach and Hap Mun Bay Beach in Sai Kung District would be suspended from 5pm that day. The department said ferries to and from the two beaches had been affected by rough sea conditions.

Red flags had been hoisted at the beaches earlier because of big waves, and beachgoers were advised not to swim there. The announcement was issued as a broadcast notice for television and radio, asking stations to air it promptly and repeat it at regular intervals.

The suspension was reported as taking effect from 5pm on the source publication date. No later restoration of services was stated in the announcement.
