Baisha Bay Beach Introduction
Driving along the Northern Coastal Highway, you will undoubtedly discover this stretch of white sandy beach ideal for enjoying ocean views and sea breezes. The kilometer-long shell white sand, under the reflection of the azure sea and sky, is truly refreshing. Known as "Taiwan's Kamakura" since the Japanese colonial period, Baisha Bay Beach is a naturally formed crescent-shaped bay embraced by Fuguei Cape and Linsan Nose, famous for its "white sand and clear water." Visitors coming here can not only enjoy the delicate feeling of walking on shell sand but also participate in a variety of water activities such as swimming, fishing, sailing, diving, and windsurfing, all of which are popular summer activities. The small hills beside the beach are also a great spot for paragliding. The fine white sand of Baisha Bay is made up of corals and shells that have been crushed and transported ashore by ocean waves, forming the beautiful "shell sand" after constant erosion and fragmentation. When the strong sea breeze blows across the pristine beach, the fine shell sand creates neatly arranged, beautiful wavy patterns, showcasing the "sand pattern" landscape. To prevent sand and wind from invading the inland area, local residents have developed a unique method to combat wind and sand. They have built closely arranged bamboo fences on the sand hills at the boundary between the beach and the inland area and planted sand-fixing plants such as Casuarina equisetifolia and Beach Marigold, creating another distinctive landscape.
