The Best Taiwan Beaches

The small island of Taiwan boasts an attractive coastline dotted with well-developed beaches mostly geared towards water activities, such as snorkeling, diving, sailing, surfing, and windsurfing. The beaches on the main island can be packed during the high season, but the remote Penghu County remains under the tourist radar. Some of the most beautiful beaches in Taiwan, including Local Beach, can be found on the coast of its outlying islands, aptly nicknamed the "Little Hawaii of Taiwan." The beaches of Pingtung County, such as White Sand Bay and Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area, offer more entertainment to visitors of all ages, including a 3D mini-submarine theater.
