Port Island (or Chek Chau, Chinese: 赤洲) is one of the 235 islands of Hong Kong, under the administration of Tai Po District. It is located in Tolo Channel (赤門海峽), where is in the North-east of New Territories (新界). Its name literally means red island; probably after the sedimentary rocks rich in iron that form this island.
