History edit

The bay area originated around 800,000 years ago where the rocky promontories were created as the result of volcanic activity from the Tatun Volcano Group that sent lava flowing directly into the sea.[1] The beach was called Kamakura during Japanese rule for its scenic beauty that highly resembles scenery in Kamakura.

Geography edit

The bay encompasses a half-moon shape beach for around 1 km length long.[2] Due to its location close to the most northwestern point of Taiwan Island, the area is very windy. During the low tide, the beach area becomes very large, sometimes over 200 meters deep with shallow tide pool and many sand bars. Different minerals present in the rock around the beach have created a mottled rock surface where it has created primitive fish traps made of heaped landslide and broken coral, where fish are stranded by the retreating tide.[3]

Features edit

The beach is the ideal place for cycling, sightseeing, relaxing, sea watching, sand sculpture and water sports. There are also small shopping areas with cafés, restaurants and small shops towards the north end of the beach.[original research?]

Transportation edit

The beach is accessible by bus from Tamsui Station of Taipei Metro.
