Baisha Beach


Baisha


We explored Baisha Beach and spent a good 2 hrs having a great time in the waves and collecting shells and corals..

Baisha is a pretty and quiet bay with a pure white sand beach that runs for 400 meters.
The beach consists of sand that comes from corals and seashells, with a calcium carbonate percentage of 87.6%.
Shielded by the tableland to its east, the bay remains calm during winter, and is suitable for all kinds of beach
and marine activities

A great museum - and we loved watching the penguins...They had over 50 of them..The acquariums are huge...

Maobitou

Another important landmark

Situated on the southernmost tip of the southwest cape, Maobitou looks out to Eluanbi across the Bashi Channel,
and got its name from a cat-like rock that broke off from the cliffs. Here you will find a typical coral reef coast,
with interesting landforms such as fringing reef shores, slumping cliffs, eroded fissures, columns, and potholes.

All in all we had fun....kids had a blast on the South Bay beach and our first feel of water sports...
