Belcher Bay is a bay atKennedy Town on the northwest shore ofHong Kong Island inHong Kong. It is located east ofSulphur Channel. The bay is named afterEdward Belcher, aNova Scotia-bornBritish naval officer who surveyed the surrounding water and land in theVictoria Harbour in 1841.Green Island and Little Green Island are located within the bay.
It is currently used as a site for larger ships to load and unload goods between barges instead of mooring along docks.
In 2019, Belcher Bay Promenade opened in phases. However, due to a plan to build a road connecting western Hong Kong Island to the northeastern part ofLantau Island,land reclamation in front of the promenade would be necessary and would require the closure of the area for five years.[1]
