Kenting Baishawan — Attraction in Hengchun

I really wanted to visit a beach in Taiwan and after a good bit of research settled here, I didn't get to see Xiaowan, Shiniu or Nanwan but I don't regret picking this one at all. Clear blue water so warm and pristine you'd swear you were in the Bahamas or Caribbean with silk soft sand you can bury your toes in (on MOST of the beach, but watch for patches of shells or rocks of which there are plenty.) There are jet ski rentals, tubing and a small boardwalk area with a bar on one end of it. Beware of the hot sand at the height of the day, though, as you could burn your feet if not careful. Scenery is beautiful with cliffs on either side of the beach and lots of huge rocks to watch the tide come over or look at underwater. Lots of dead coral can be found to inspect, though you can't remove it from the park. There are also great waves that are fun to swim in, though they break very close to the shore so not ideal for body surfing or other...

Great memory visiting there, save one star for next visiting.

Kenting's White Sand Beach, located in southern Taiwan, is a picturesque destination renowned for its stunning natural beauty. The crystal-clear turquoise waters and soft, powdery white sand make it a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and other water activities such as jet skiing and surfing.

The beach is surrounded by lush tropical forests and rocky cliffs, providing a breathtaking backdrop to the pristine shoreline. Visitors can also enjoy the area's diverse marine life by snorkeling or scuba diving in the coral reefs just offshore.

In addition to its natural attractions, Kenting also offers a wide range of local restaurants and shops, making it a great place to experience Taiwanese culture and cuisine. Whether you're looking for a relaxing day on the beach or an exciting adventure, Kenting's White Sand Beach is a must-visit...

The beach here is a sandy break with numerous lava rocks scattered throughout which makes swimming in the waves somewhat dangerous.

However, the angle of the beach was not so aggressive as to make it difficult for kids to play in the surf, which is nice. The rocks on either side of the beach yielded the most fun for our toddler, as he loved looking for small marine life amongst them. Be careful when stepping on them as they are razor sharp.

The walk leading up to the beach has a couple of stalls which sells sandals, towels, beach toys, etc. that you may have forgotten, and the prices weren't bad. However, the prices of the amenities on the beach itself seemed pretty exorbitant.

For cleanup, there is a water rinse station that can be utilized for NT$10 around the west side of the beach.

All in all, we enjoyed...
