Baisha Bay Beach Introduction
Along the Northern Coastal Highway, you will definitely discover this white sandy beach that is perfect for enjoying the sea view and the sea breeze. The kilometer-long shell-white sand, reflected under the blue sky and clear waters, brings a sense of serenity. Known as the "Kamakura of Taiwan" since the Japanese colonial era, Baisha Bay Beach is a crescent-shaped natural bay embraced by Cape Fugue and Linsan Cape, renowned for its "white sand and clear water." Visitors to this area can not only enjoy the delicate sensation of walking on the shell sand but also participate in various water activities such as swimming, fishing, sailing, diving, and windsurfing, which are all popular summer activities. The small hills beside the beach also serve as excellent spots for paragliding. The fine white sands of Baisha Bay are made up of coral reefs and shells that have been crushed and carried ashore by the waves. Through continuous erosion and fragmentation, they form the beautiful "shell sand." When the strong sea breeze blows across the pristine beach, the fine shell sand is arranged by the wind into neat and beautiful wave-like patterns, creating the "sand pattern" landscape. In order to prevent windblown sand from invading the inland, local residents have developed a unique method to combat it. They have constructed rows of tightly arranged bamboo fences on the sand hills at the boundary between the beach and the inland and planted sand-binding plants with strong root systems, such as Casuarina and Aloe, creating another type of landscape.
