Here the trail leads back into the urban jungle. An easy stretch that passes by Chai Wan and Shau Kei Wan. The area was once a stronghold of the British military intelligence with barracks and batteries scattered around. There even is a century-old fortress that was used to defend Hong Kong Island East, now the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defense.

柴灣段全長約5.5公里，途經柴灣與筲箕灣。此路段所經地區曾為英國的情報中心以及防衞香港島東部的要塞。路線附近的海防博物館由舊鯉魚門炮台改建而成，有超過一百多年的歷史。
