Zhongjiao Sandbar Bay Introduction
Located at the 39 km mark of Taiwan Highway 2, this is a surfing hotspot on the northern coast. In the heat of summer, it attracts many surfing enthusiasts who come to ride the waves and enjoy the thrill of racing across the sea. Besides surfing, visitors can also take in the scenic views of one of the Eight Views of Jinshan: "Candlestick Islets." The beautiful horizon, where the sea meets the sky, allows people to forget their worries and immerse themselves in the blue coastline. The Candlestick Islets are a representative attraction of Jinshan, also known as the "Couple Stones." They are located off the eastern coast of Jinshan Cape and resemble two candlesticks standing side by side. Their formation is due to land uplift, created from eroded coral reef columns, which is quite unique and interesting. Between Zhongjiao and Yongxing Fishing Port, a coastal road has been renovated with parking lots and scenic walkways, allowing visitors to conveniently park and enjoy the views along the way. There are also walking paths to gaze at the geological beauty of Keelung Islet, Yehliu Cape, and Shitoudan Candlestick Islets across the sea.
