Shek Pik (Chinese: 石壁) is an area located along the southwestern coast of Lantau Island, Hong Kong.

[3] The southern part of Shek Pik is facing the South China Sea and features three small bays.

A tradition mentions that a clan from Ma Tau Wai in Kowloon accompanied the last two young emperors to Lautau Island and finally settled in Shek Pik to avoid the Mongol invasion at the end of Southern Song (1127–1279).

Based on the review of historic documents, the existence of village settlements at Shek Pik can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644),[1] although the area may have been settled earlier.

[4] Shek Pik is one of five villages of Lantau that were resettled when the coastal restriction of the Great Clearance was lifted in 1669.

[12][13] The Lower Shek Pik Rock Carving, located about 300m from the coastline, was listed as a declared monument of Hong Kong in 1979.

[18] Sha Tsui Detention Centre is a minimum security institution for male young offenders.

[19] Shek Pik Prison is a maximum security institution, housing male adults serving medium to long-term sentences, including life imprisonment.

[20] The Hong Kong Red Cross Shek Pik Camp,[21] opened in 1968,[22] is located at Tung Wan.
