The park is situated near the Tuen Mun Typhoon Shelter, which influences the surrounding maritime traffic.
The beach is one of the few natural sandy coastlines remaining in the Tuen Mun district.
The park was reclaimed from the sea during the development of Tuen Mun New Town in the late 20th century.
The area is strategically positioned to observe ships heading toward the Pearl River Delta ports.
Butterfly Beach Park is a 6.3-hectare waterfront park located at the southern edge of Tuen Mun, Hong Kong. It features a sandy beach coastline that provides views of the Pearl River Estuary and passing industrial vessels. The park grounds include extensive lawn areas, a landscaped garden, and a barbecue site for public use. It acts as a transitional space between the urban Tuen Mun New Town and the coastal environment of the New Territories. The park is integrated with a children's play area and fitness stations for recreational activity. It serves as a popular community space for locals rather than a commercial tourist attraction. The facility includes a designated pet garden to accommodate animal owners.
