Santiaolun Beach - Taiwan’s Worst Beach
We were warned when we entered that the swimming area was broken ?!? But our young children could not even play in the sand. The sand was littered with dead worms. The water was thick with algie. The beach area is basically a giant concrete bathtub with sand dumped along the shore. When you look at the break wall/berm made of old tires you wonder if this is a landfill site or a park. Look at the park benches along the shore – if they would just get rid of this rubble it would look so much nicer. Most of the fake bamboo providing shade for the walkways has mostly blown away. The walking trail is in good condition but it’s only about 200m long and nothing special. The washrooms were really dirty. We really feel ripped off after paying the 100TWD ($3US) entrance fee. We stayed for less than an hour. ( it would’ve been a half an hour if we skipped the walking trails) I would not recommend this place to anyone. We ended up going to Dongshih’s fisherman’s wharf (Chiayi County) which has a really nice wading pool, artificial beach and water park. (free admission)
