Why this spot

Small gazetted but closed and unserviced beach on Shek O Road, below the old Shek O village and headland estates, open to South China Sea swell

Beach verified as closed to swimming, ungraded and unserviced since the 1990s, so wrack is not machine cleaned; no documented glass finds located
