By the MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

The North Coast boasts captivating shorelines and blue skies with white clouds, always capable of healing weary souls. Areas such as Sanzhi Shallow Bay, Keelung's Peace Island, and Badouzi are all great spots to enjoy the sea. Below are five coastal attractions that are all accessible by bus. Travelers may want to add them to their itineraries and plan a North Coast trip based on their own preferences.

1. Nose Head Trail & Scenic Area
The Nose Head Trail feels like walking along a mountain ridge. The trail is approximately 3.5 kilometers long, and the full walk takes about 2 to 3 hours, offering panoramic views of the Northeast Coast. With its gentle path and the soft sea breeze, the scenery before your eyes resembles a stunning postcard.

2. Nanya Unique Rocks
The rocks by Nanya Beach are uniquely shaped, arguably the most iconic feature of the Northeast Coast. Among them, the Nanya Unique Rocks resemble painted weathering patterns and are its most exquisite highlight. The rock fractures, under the effects of weathering and erosion, have formed needle-like or columnar peaks.

3. Nanzi Xing Trail
The Nanzi Xing Trail is located near Nanya Fishing Harbor. Though it’s less than 200 meters in elevation, it offers a 360-degree panoramic view, allowing you to enjoy the magnificent mountain and sea scenery even without reaching the summit. Along the trail, there are branch paths leading to the cliff-surrounded peak of Nanzi Lin East, where you can take in the view of the Nanya Unique Rocks coastline.
