    • Coloane, where the Portuguese defeated some pirates in 1910, is supposed to have the nicest beaches, but I found them muddy. Hac Sa is a black sand beach. Ka Ho is a white sand beach. Cheoc Van is best for swimming.1982 October 24, Pamela G. Hollie, “CHINA WITH A PORTUGUESE ACCENT”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 24 May 2015, Travel, page 9
    • Stretching for three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) in a gentle crescent, Hac Sa Beach offers Macau residents a seaside retreat from their hectic urban lives. Most locals say Hac Sa is the best of the three strips of sand on Coloane, as it is much larger than scenic Cheoc Van Beach.2007, Steven K. Bailey, “Coloane Island: Macau's Countryside”, in Strolling in Macau: A Visitor's Guide to Macau, Taipa, and Coloane, ThingsAsian Press, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 133
