Town Island (Chinese: 伙頭墳洲, Fo Tau Fan Chau), also known as Dawn Island[1] is an island in the New Territories of Hong Kong. It is located south of the former High Island, in the Sai Kung District of the territory.

A drug rehabilitation centre was established on the island in 1976.[1] It is run by Operation Dawn.[2]

The island is served by a ferry route from Sai Kung twice a day, except public holidays.
