6 Pleasant

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.

4 Frustrating

Discovering a hidden gem amongst the bustling tourist attractions can be a refreshing experience. The pebble beach nestled below the towering Qingshui Cliff offers a serene escape with breathtaking views. While the summer sunrise is a sight to behold, the tranquility of the location is often disturbed by the noisy kayaking business and influx of visitors. Nonetheless, this secluded spot presents an opportunity to unwind and immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

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.
