Tofu Cape Recreational Area Introduction
Dofu Cape is a beautiful small bay in Southern Yilan, formed by the land-connected islands of Ludian Island and Lian Island Sandbar. It is named for its unique tofu-shaped rock formations, attracting many travelers who come to witness the stunning scenery. Here, visitors can choose from a variety of recreational activities, particularly in the summer when the waves are small and calm. The curved bay is an excellent place for water play and snorkeling, allowing close-up views of fish swimming among the coral reefs, providing an opportunity to connect with the ocean and enjoy nature. Along the coastal trail, one can walk through the coastal steps, the viewing forest recreation area, and the coral coastal zone, while also enjoying distant views of Biyu Mountain in the Neipi Bay and the exciting scenes of anglers climbing down the cliffs. In addition to water activities and watching the waves, the east-facing Dofu Cape is also a fantastic spot for watching the sunrise, with the sun slowly rising over the sea, its morning light gently illuminating Southern Yilan; or during sunset when the evening glow reflects on the waves, creating a brilliant sky that brightens the fishing boats returning to the shore. The nearby cross-sea bridge is the first single-beam suspension bridge in Asia, spanning the fishing port navigation channel, connecting the north and south shores of Southern Yilan, and is a prominent landmark in the area! In recent years, Dofu Cape has introduced a new water activity that is easier to master than surfing, called "SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding)," which consists of a large surfboard and a paddle taller than the individual, belonging to a category of surfing sports. Remember that whether you are snorkeling or paddleboarding, it is best to have a coach familiar with the local terrain and waters to ensure safety. **Note:** This area is not managed by any personnel, so visitors should avoid entering at night. Please pay attention to relevant signs when enjoying recreational activities and avoid deep or dangerous areas to prevent accidents.
