As heatwaves hit, the scorching summer makes you eager to dive into the water for a cool escape. The most beautiful seaside resort in southern Taiwan is Kenting, boasting beaches with stunning shell sand and a variety of fun and thrilling water activities. Meanwhile, in northeastern Taiwan, Yilan is also a popular spot for aquatic fun. Head to Wushih Port and, under expert guidance, enjoy the speed and sense of freedom of riding the waves.

When visiting Kenting, plan a 2–3 day itinerary. On the first day, go snorkeling at Shadao and Sails Rock, swimming alongside coral in the underwater world. In the afternoon or the next day, head to Nanwan for sunbathing and a variety of water activities. Don’t forget to stroll through the night market on Kenting Street in the evening and sample authentic Thai cuisine.
On the next day, play in the waves at Baisha Bay, then indulge in fresh sashimi from Houpi Fishing Port at noon. In the afternoon, head westward where Wanli Cave, Shanhai, and Houwan form a unique strip-shaped intertidal zone with serene and pleasant scenery. For those seeking more thrills, you can also try canyoning or rafting, then head home with a satisfied heart.
 
In Yilan, plan a simple 2-day trip. From Su’ao in the south to Toucheng in the north, these are the best spots for water fun. Su’ao Cold Spring is one of only two cold springs in the world—its refreshing waters instantly banish the summer heat. Or head to Annung River for an exciting rafting experience, drifting along with the flow.
The next day, wake up early and, under the guidance of surfing experts, hit the waves with your surfboard to feel the thrill of riding the surf. If you’re still not satisfied, head to the mountains to try paragliding—an adrenaline-pumping experience where you can soar through the sky and admire the beauty of Lan Yang.
