The beach has barbecue pits and is managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government.

However, since May 1995, the beaches in Tsuen Wan District were closed due to the construction of the nearby Ting Kau and Tsing Ma Bridges and no longer allowed the public to swim due to its poor water quality and lifeguard services have to be suspended.

[5] While HATS Stage 1 overall improved water quality in Victoria Harbour, it worsened conditions in the western area of the harbour because of the large quantity of non-disinfected effluent being released from the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works.

Hoi Mei Wan Beach was officially reopened to swimmers on 15 June 2011, and lifeguards are provided there once again.
