"Wushi Harbor, situated in Yilan, is an exceptional destination for surfers of all skill levels. The beach is a year-round attraction, particularly during the summer months. The parking lot is conveniently located near the beach, and you can easily access the beach by climbing the stairs next to it. The precise coordinates of this charming location are 24.87166, 121.84072."

"The beach offers stunning scenery and breathtaking views. Its pristine sands and refreshing breeze make for a truly invigorating experience. What's more, it's fascinating to note that the train station is unstaffed. Even if you're not particularly fond of aquatic activities, taking a detour to this beach is definitely worthwhile."
