White Beach Introduction
Green Island is primarily composed of volcanic cluster rocks, shaped over time by weathering and erosion into a rugged coastline, with most of the coast being rocky coral reefs. The beach at Dabaisha is made up of shell fragments and coral, forming what is known as "beach rock." It is one of only two locations on Green Island where this phenomenon occurs, with Dabaisha being the largest and providing a rare sandy beach landscape. Beyond the white sandy beach, the coast is surrounded by coral reefs, with extensive intertidal zones populated by a rich variety of marine life, including hermit crabs, crabs, sand stars, sea slugs, and sea cucumbers. This area is also a paradise for diving enthusiasts, featuring designated diving trails for visitors. However, due to the considerable variation in underwater depth and unstable currents, it is more suitable for scuba diving, which requires complete equipment and an air tank filled with compressed air. If you hold a valid diving certification, you must experience the fun of various depths at Dabaisha! Although the currents can be strong, Dabaisha boasts world-class soft coral landscapes due to the warm Kuroshio Current passing through the waters around Green Island, creating an ideal environment for coral growth. Here, coral exists not just as isolated specimens but as a vast underwater coral sea, featuring a dozen types of corals such as Acropora, Porites, and mushroom corals, creating a stunning spectacle. Among them, species like damselfish and butterflyfish dart among the corals, resembling a natural underwater garden.
