Da Sha Ao Beach Bathing Area, also known as the seaside bathing spot, is shaped like a semi-embrace with a flat and open beach. The sand quality is characterized as iron plate sand, which is fine, soft, and not loose. Walking on it feels like treading on a carpet, offering a comfortable and pleasant experience.
This location is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and surfing. It also provides opportunities for beach volleyball and bicycle races. In the evenings, bonfire parties can be held, where people can sing and dance to their heart’s content.
The beach is surrounded by peculiar reefs, featuring landscapes such as the Seal’s Return, the Tiger’s Descent, the General Observing the Sky, and the Turtle Stone Rock. Adjacent to the bathing area, Nanpao Fort Hill offers a chance to watch seagulls and listen to the pine waves, providing a cleansing experience from the hustle and bustle, and is an excellent spot to enjoy the sunrise over the sea.
Opening hours are from 04/01 to 10/31 from 08:00 to 17:30; from 11/01 to 03/31 from 08:00 to 17:00.
