Taiwan's version of Okinawa beach? "Waiao Beach" is perfect for a day trip.

When it comes to the most beautiful coastal lines in the Northeast, you can't miss this stunning hidden gem—Waiao Beach! 📍 Step out of "Waiao Train Station" and you're right at the beach. The station is zero distance from the sand, giving you instant summer magazine cover vibes. 📸 Why is it worth visiting? Golden sandy beach + Guishan Island views, resembling Okinawa's coastline on sunny days A train station with a sea view—railroad + ocean combo is incredibly soothing Many beginner surfers practice here, creating a youthful scene with sunshine, sea, and people Nearby facilities include clean shower rooms and snack shops, making it super convenient for water activities! 🕶 Recommended photo spots: ✅ The view from the station platform towards the sea: a perfect blend of railroad and blue ocean ✅ Surfboards & changing booths on the beach: full of Japanese beach vibes ✅ Sitting on the sand and gazing at Guishan Island's silhouette: great for sunrise or sunset shots ✅ Colorful surf schools along the way: ideal for street-style photos or swimwear + cover-up shots 🧭 How to get there? 🚆【Most convenient】Take the train to "Waiao Station," and the beach is just a 30-second walk from the exit! 🚗 Driving? Navigate to "Waiao Service Area" or "Waiao Beach Parking Lot." However, parking spaces are limited on weekends, so it's best to arrive early in the morning. 🏄♂️ Water activities & facilities: Surfboard rentals are available (surf schools are right near the station) Paid shower areas and clean restrooms Several seaside cafes nearby where you can enjoy food while watching the waves☕
