{{main|Sham Wan (Lamma Island)}}
Sham Wan is one of the five most important archaeological sites in Hong Kong. The bay is the site of an important [[Bronze Age]] settlement which was unearthed by archaeologists in the 1970s. It yielded evidence of people living on Lamma during the "[[Middle Neolithic]]" phase (c. 3800–3000 BC).

Historically Sham Wan was also a place for [[green sea turtle]]s to lay eggs. The endangered green turtles are a special group of marine organisms with distinctive navigation behaviour between their nesting, breeding, development and [[reproduction]] sites. As Sham Wan is the only existing nesting site for them in Hong Kong, every year there is a period of restricted access to it from 1 June to 31 October to allow the turtles to breed.<ref>[http://www.afcd.gov.hk/english/conservation/con_fau/con_fau_sea/con_fau_sea_con/con_fau_sea_con_the.html Conservation of sea turtles in Hong Kong]</ref> The breeding site is about {{convert|5100|m2|0|abbr=on}}.
