Waiao Beach Introduction

Wai'ao Beach, also known as Gang'ao Beach or Gang'ao Sands, is located outside of Wushi Harbor, which was once bustling with ships, hence the name Wai'ao. It is situated to the north of Wushi Harbor and features a vast, flat, and clean sandy beach where waves of white foam crash onto the shore. In the distance, Turtle Island can be faintly seen, making this area a favorite for families playing in the water and surfers. In addition to splashing in the waves and playing in the sand, there are also thrilling extreme sports available, such as paragliding and surfing, which require skill and courage. Strolling along the seaside promenade, listening to the sound of the waves, overlooking Turtle Island, admiring the prowess of surfers, or gazing at paragliders soaring in the sky provides a rare sense of relaxation amidst a busy life. When you get tired from walking, you can step into the uniquely designed Wai'ao Service Area with its bright yellow exterior, sit in a fish pond to experience a fish spa that exfoliates your feet, or order a cup of coffee to enjoy alongside the stunning blue sea and beach—truly a great pleasure in life.
