User reviews
"The beach was an absolute delight, with its refreshing waters and yellow sands. Despite the unfortunate weather conditions that prevented us from witnessing the sunrise, we still had an enjoyable time. The experience was simply amazing and one that we will cherish for a long time."
Naiya Patel
"The beach is immaculate and well-maintained, although the sand is not the typical powdery texture and instead consists of small pebbles. Locals have mentioned that swimming is prohibited by the Taiwan Coast Guard, but fear not as kayaks and paddle boards are available for rent just a short stroll away from the shoreline."
