I’ve come here countless times on weekends when the weather’s nice! At first, it might not seem that impressive—especially if you’re used to golden sand beaches—but Waiao has its own unique charm. I love how the beach stretches with Guishan Island visible in the distance on one side, and mountains rising on the other. The contrast is stunning. The main activity here is surfing, which is both fun and relaxing. Since Yilan’s weather tends to be cloudy, it adds a cool vibe and keeps things from getting too hot under the sun. They also host events like music festivals and other activities from time to time, which adds to the atmosphere. Definitely one of the places I miss the most!

My favourite public beach in Northern Taiwan! Clean and a lot of space, it's not overcrowded or anything. The sand is very comfy to work on. This beach is one of the only ones where swimming is allowed or at least no one is stopping you. There's one downside to this beach though, that being there's no designated area for swimmers or spots where surfers aren't allowed. There should be an area where no surfers are allowed in order to protect swimmers and people that go into the water. A couole of times surfers nearly bumoed into me.

A lovely place to enjoy a day at the beach. This is a large and clean beach with fine (slightly dark) sand with plenty of space to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The beach can be easily accessed by car or by train (the train station is 3 min walking distance). There are fantastic views of the mountains and Turtle Island. The ocean is a bit rough (not for beginners) and it is very popular for surfing. There are plenty of small shops near the beach offering beverages and surfing equipment rental. Highly recommended!

Love this beach. Free parking nearby. Came here at the end of February 2020. The reflection of the sky on the water makes for an incredible photo - it can look like you're walking on water! The water was pretty cold, but it was fine to dip my feet in. I saw about 10 surfers in wetsuits. The sand if very fine and black (different than white sand beaches!) There's a small 'boardwalk' but many of the shops were closed around 6pm. There's a public bathroom here.

It is absolutely important to come when the weather is good, ideally during summer, as the place can be quite gloomy otherwise, and you will just wish you were back in Taipei. The ferries to Turtle Island do not run daily during winter / non-peak periods and it is recommended to book with the ferry company or ask via Line messenger if they will be running ferries.
