Shunyuan Beach

　　Shunyuan Beach is situated on the southern edge of the arc-shaped Dulan Bay in Beinan Township, Taitung County, Taiwan, about 12 kilometers from downtown Taitung. It is the only beach in all of Taitung County. The beach stretches over 1 kilometer in length, with extensive coral reefs in the surrounding waters to the north and south. Its sands are soft and fine, the terrain is broad and flat, and the water is crystal clear, making it ideal for various water activities and family-friendly fun. It’s also a great leisure spot for tourists.

　　The coastal ecosystem of Shunyuan Beach is rich and diverse, with amphibians often spotted in the area. However, in recent years, the eastern coastline has suffered severe erosion from the Pacific Ocean, compounded by illegal and excessive hotel construction. These issues have led to the gradual inland retreat of the shoreline and disrupted the original ecological balance of local flora and fauna. If this continues, Shunyuan Coast may not escape the devastation caused by both natural geographic changes and human activity. Facing the imminent threat of rapid disappearance in the near future, civic groups have formed self-help organizations to protect this precious and sole remaining beach in Taitung. The government, along with experts, has also begun environmental surveys and conservation efforts. It is hoped that in the near future, the pristine beauty of Shunyuan Beach will be restored for all to enjoy.
