Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Start at the A-Ma Village around 3 PM when the fishermen return with their catch. Kids love seeing the boats come in and the fish auction on the dock.
The trail from the village to Hac Sa Beach is an easy 15-minute walk along a bamboo-shaded path. Stroller-friendly and beautiful.
Stop at Lord Stow's Bakery in Coloane Village for the original Macau egg tarts. The bakery is casual with outdoor tables and the tarts are world-famous for a reason.
Hac Sa Beach has black sand (hence the name). Bring a towel and let the kids play. The water is calm and shallow near the shore.
The Chapel of St. Francis Xavier has beautiful Portuguese azulejo tiles. The square in front is perfect for kids to run around while you rest.

A Real Parent's Story
An old fisherman showed my son how to tie a knot
“We watched an elderly fisherman repair his net. Without saying a word, he gestured for my son to come closer. He spent 10 minutes showing him knots. No common language, just hands and smiles.”
Read full story
The fishing village walk was a last-minute addition to our Macau trip. It ended up being the most authentic experience we had. An old fisherman saw my son watching him mend his net and waved him over. For 10 minutes they communicated with hand gestures the fisherman showing how to tie different knots and my son trying to copy him. They did not speak a word of each other's language but they laughed together. My son still practices those knots at home.
