Hebe Haven, also known as Pak Sha Wan (Шаблон:Zh), is a harbour on the south shore of Sai Kung Peninsula in Hong Kong.

The harbour has one opening to Port Shelter in its south. The Pak Sha Wan Peninsula, spanning south from Tsiu Hang (Шаблон:Zh) hugs the Hebe Haven and separates it from Inner Port Shelter (Sai Kung Hoi). Villages are established along its shores. The haven is an excellent natural harbour for yachts and boats and is home to a number of yacht clubs.

Geography

Two main rivers run into the haven, Ho Chung River at the west and Tai Chung River in the north west. Tides, sea currents and river drifts form alleviates and beaches in the haven, although the tidal flow is of minimal strength. A number of smaller streams run into the haven, notably one at the extreme north western edge, just north of Pak Sha Wan. The mangrove area surrounding this stream is a good place in Hong Kong to see the black-capped kingfisher, it is not scenic, small in area and it can be accessed at high tide by dinghy only, nevertheless black-capped kingfishers are commonly sighted.

The Pak Sha Wan Peninsula (Шаблон:Zh) aka. Ma Nam Wat Peninsula (Шаблон:Zh) forms the eastern edge of the harbour.

The white sands of a beach northwest gives the native name of Pak Sha Wan, which means "white sand bay". It is also the name of a village and became the indigenous name of Hebe Haven.Шаблон:Citation needed
