How it's used
Locals often associate this area with high end residential properties and a more relaxed, affluent beach atmosphere compared to the nearby Repulse Bay. When discussing travel, it is common to refer to the area simply by its name without adding the word for beach or area, as the context is usually clear.
Examples
Shall we go swimming at Deep Water Bay tomorrow?
