White Sand Beach Introduction
Green Island is primarily composed of volcanic block rock, which, after a long period of weathering and erosion, has formed rugged and spectacular coastal scenery, with most of its shores being coral reef coastlines. The beach at Da Bai Sha is made up of shell and coral fragments that have transformed into rock, known as "tano" rock. There are only two locations of this type in Green Island, with Da Bai Sha being the largest, making it a rare sandy shoreline landscape. Beyond the white sandy beach, the shore is still surrounded by coral reefs, with extensive intertidal zones rich in marine life, such as hermit crabs, crabs, periwinkles, sea slugs, and sea cucumbers. This area is also a paradise for diving enthusiasts, featuring designated diving paths for visitors. However, due to the significant changes in seabed depth and unstable currents, it is more suitable for scuba diving, requiring full equipment and a tank filled with compressed air to dive. If you have a valid diving certification, you must come to Da Bai Sha to experience the fun of varying depths! Although the currents can be a bit strong, Da Bai Sha offers a world-class soft coral landscape. The waters around Green Island are warmed by the Kuroshio Current from the Pacific Ocean, creating an ideal environment for coral growth. Rather than isolated corals, here you can find a whole sea of corals, including branching corals, tube corals, and umbrella corals, among dozens of species, all vibrant and stunning. Among them, colorful snapper and butterflyfish weave through the coral, creating a natural underwater garden.
