Baisha Bay Beach Introduction
Driving along the North Coast Scenic Highway, you will definitely discover this white sand beach that is perfect for admiring the sea view and enjoying the sea breeze. The kilometer-long shell white sand, under the reflection of the blue sea and sky, is refreshing and delightful. The White Sand Bay, known as "Taiwan's Kamakura" since the Japanese colonial period, is a crescent-shaped natural bay embraced by Fugui Cape and Linsan Nose, famous for its "white sand and clear water." Visitors to this area can not only enjoy the delicate feeling of walking on the shell sand but also participate in various water activities such as swimming, fishing, sailing, diving, and windsurfing, which are the most popular activities in summer. The small hills beside the beach are also great spots for paragliding. The fine white sand at White Sand Bay is composed of coral reefs and shells broken and brought ashore by the waves from shallow waters. After continuous washing and crushing, it forms the beautiful white "shell sand." When the strong sea breeze blows over the white sand beach, the fine shell sand is sculpted into neatly arranged beautiful wave-like patterns by the wind, creating the "sand pattern" landscape. To prevent wind and sand from invading the inland area, local residents have developed a unique method to combat wind and sand, setting up neat and close bamboo fences on the sand and gravel hills at the boundary of the beach and the inland, and planting sand-binding plants with strong grasping power, such as Casuarina and beach grass, forming another kind of landscape.
