Pengpor Beach Introduction
Pengpeng Beach is located in Baisha Township, situated between Bird Island and Yuanbei Island. Its formation is the result of ocean currents that have eroded sand from places such as Jibei Island, Bird Island, and Yuanbei Island, depositing it to create a natural sandbar offshore from Bird Island. In 1986, under the influence of Typhoon Wayne, this sand accumulated into a beach island, which has since remained above water during high tide. With continuous accumulation, the current end of Pengpeng Beach is gradually connecting to Bird Island, allowing visitors to wade across during low tide. The beach has an elongated shape and is composed of white coral fragments, shells, and quartz. The end of the beach sways with ocean currents and tides, resembling a white dragon's tail, which is why it is also referred to as "Living Dragon Beach." At Pengpeng Beach, visitors can experience a variety of water activities such as snorkeling, riding banana boats, and operating jet skis. They can also try "transparent kayaks" or "SUP stand-up paddling," which combines characteristics of surfing and kayaking, ensuring an exciting experience! In addition to water activities, Pengpeng Beach is also an ecological conservation area. From April to October each year, many terns come here to breed and rest, primarily including the Roseate Tern and the Crested Tern. Therefore, the county government has designated three-quarters of the sandbar as a seabird sanctuary, prohibiting tourist access to avoid disturbing the birds' natural habitat.
