Attraction and Infrastructure

As for the main features of the beaches of Taiwan, they are as follows:

  • The country's beaches are mainly wide, long and have a high level of cleanliness. The most common surface is sand of gray color.
  • Since many beaches are sandy, we recommend taking special shoes with you to avoid discomfort during your vacation.
  • Usually, entry into the water is moderately gentle, such beaches are 10.
  • An important clarification, 14 beaches in the country have a long intertidal zone, which means that during low tide hours you may have to travel a considerable distance. This is also something to consider if you don't want to suddenly be in the water at high tide.
  • The average distance from the road to beach in Taiwan is less than 500 meters. 19 beaches are relatively easy to access, and 1 beach are only accessible from the water. The latter include both island beaches and beaches with no land routes due to the natural borders.

Wild beaches with no infrastructure dominate the coastline of Taiwan however, even here you can find a beach with a standard set of accessories: sun beds, umbrellas, restaurants, showers and toilets.

Latest reviews on Taiwan's beaches

Cape Tofu beach
10 JiaLin Wei

The Tofu Cape shoreline boasts stunning views of the azure sea and is perfect for water activities like SUP. Additionally, there are restrooms located nearby. However, it's worth noting that there isn't much shade available on the beach.

Chongde Gravel Beach
10 Naiya Patel

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.

Neipi Beach
10 Nathan Chen

This beach is quite secluded and doesn't get too crowded. It's about a 10-minute walk from the nearest bus stop. The waves are really impressive and there are some unique stones and gravel to check out. It can get pretty windy here too.

This petite and charming beach offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere, allowing you to witness the flawless sunrise and indulge in the art of fishing.

Waiao Beach

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 scenery has undergone some alterations since my last visit, making it less conducive to experiencing the ocean and enjoying the moon's glow.
