Facing the vast, boundless sea always has a healing effect on the weary soul, as if both body and mind are cleansed by the rolling waves. The beautiful seascape is a favorite getaway for many during holidays—not only for relaxation but also to capture the majestic blue expanse. Visitors can stroll along the coastline, gaze into the deep view that seems to lead to the middle of the sea, listen to the soothing sounds of the waves, and find it hard to leave. Surrounded by the sea on all sides, Taiwan boasts numerous coastal destinations worth visiting. Below is a list of four popular hotspots for photography across the north, south, east, and west. Consider planning a blue-sea journey during your next holiday.

North · Keelung - Chaoshing Park
 
Located on the eastern side of Bajiaoshi Peninsula, Chaoshing Park covers an area of 1 hectare. Originally a waste collection site, it has been transformed into a prime destination for sea viewing and sightseeing. The park features well-designed timber-deck walkways and numerous art sculptures, among which the Flying Broom is the most photographed.

West · Changhua - Sea Cow Station
 
Taiwan’s most countryside-style coastal attraction, Sea Cow Station in Fangyuan, Changhua, boasts rich intertidal ecological landscapes. Visitors can experience riding a sea cow cart to harvest oysters—this is the only place in Taiwan that still uses sea cows for oyster farming, offering a strong taste of local rural culture. There is also the country’s largest Mazu temple—Fangyuan Putian Temple—which serves as a spiritual center for coastal residents.
