Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable spots are within a 20-minute drive of the homestay:

• Shanshui Beach: A 10-minute drive south, this sweeping golden sand beach is famous for its gentle, clear turquoise waters, making it ideal for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and sunset walks. The soft sand and shallow shoreline make it perfect for families.
• Tongliang Geopark: Just 15 minutes northeast, this otherworldly coastal park features dramatic basalt column formations carved by centuries of wind and wave. The walking trails offer sweeping views of the Taiwan Strait and are especially beautiful at sunrise when the rock formations glow gold.

Travel Tips

Book your private parking spot in advance when reserving your stay, as space is limited. If you don’t have a scooter or car, book the homestay’s paid airport transfer in advance for a hassle-free arrival. Since Penghu is sunny year-round, pack sunscreen and a hat, and use the homestay’s on-site drying racks to air out beach gear after a day by the sea. For the best experience, visit between April and October, when temperatures are warm enough for swimming and outdoor exploration, and book your stay several months in advance if traveling during the peak summer holiday season.
