Zhongjiao Sand Dune Bay Introduction
Located at the 39-kilometer mark on Provincial Highway 2, it is a surfing area on the North Coast. During the hot summer months, it attracts many surfers who come here to enjoy the thrill of riding the waves in the vast sea. In addition to surfing, visitors can also enjoy a distant view of one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Jinshan: "Candleholder Islets." The beautiful scenery where the sea meets the sky allows one to forget the worries and busyness of life and fully immerse in the blue coastline. The Candleholder Islets are a representative attraction of Jinshan, also known as "Couple Stones." They are located offshore on the eastern side of Cape Jinshan, resembling two candle holders side by side. Their formation is due to land uplift, created from a coral reef that has formed unique marine erosion rock columns, which is quite special and interesting. Between Zhongjiao and Yongxing Fishing Harbor, a coastal highway parking lot and scenic walking path have been renovated, allowing visitors to conveniently park and enjoy the views along the way. They can also stroll along the path and admire the geological beauty of Keelung Islet, Yehliu Cape, and Shitou Mountain Candleholder Islets across the water.
