Sunny Bay (Chinese: 欣澳; Cantonese Yale: Yān ou) is an MTR station in Yam O. It is between Tung Chung and Tsing Yi stations. The station is an interchange station between the Tung Chung line and the Disneyland Resort line to Hong Kong Disneyland. The station was originally to be named Yam O (陰澳); however, the name was ultimately replaced, likely because of its ominous connotations^{[footnote 1]}.

The station was the first MTR station to have automatic platform gates (APG) installed on the edge of its platforms. These gates range from 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 the height of the platform screen doors found in other MTR stations. In line with ground level and above-ground MTR stations, the Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort stations are not air conditioned, and rely on their open architecture to keep the temperature low.

Services to the station commenced on 1 June 2005. The transfer facilities to the Disneyland Resort line opened on 1 August that year. The livery of the station is slate grey. Platforms 1 (Tung Chung line towards Tung Chung) and 3 (Disneyland Resort line) are located opposite to each other to allow easy interchange of trains for passengers travelling from the urban areas. Architecture firm Aedas was the architect for the Disneyland Resort line and the architect for the Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort stations.^[1]

The station is primarily used by tourists travelling to Hong Kong Disneyland who use the station to interchange from the Tung Chung line onto the Disneyland Resort line, but also provides bus transport links to the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge and Discovery Bay.

The Airport Express passes through the centre of the station without stopping. This station is equipped with emergency platforms for the Airport Express.
