Take the lantau ferry from the central ferry pier on HK island. If youre taking your board you have to take the slow ferry which takes around an hour but does not go as frequently as the usual. It is worth getting a ferry timetable. From the lantau ferry pier ask a taxi to take you to Tai Long Wan which costs around $100. Buses wont accept you with a board, however body boards are okay. Once in Tai Long Wan village you'll hear the waves, just walk along the little path to the beach.
