Heren Beach Introduction
From the entrance of the Heren Trail at the Heren boundary stone marker located at 168.5K on Suhua Highway, walk down about 200 meters and after crossing a section of wooded path, you will reach Heren Pebble Beach. The first thing that catches your eye is the various sized stones on the beach, which rolled down from the rock face to the seaside due to landslides. Next, there is a large expanse of clean and gentle pebble beach, composed of marble and gneiss gravel brought down by the Liwu River and Qnagan River (Heren Creek) on the north side, which have been transported and accumulated by the sea. On the southern side of the pebble beach, there is a wide and flat sea erosion cave. Heading further south, there are huge gneiss rock walls that feature several large quartz veins running through them, which are quite rare in Taiwan. At the southernmost part of the pebble beach, several narrow caves can be seen, one of which has penetrated through the rock layers.
