Located in the serene township of Xiulin, Elephant Trunk Beach is a hidden gem of Taiwan that boasts a remarkable coastline. Unlike many bustling beaches, this place offers a peaceful retreat with its clear, turquoise waters and smooth, greyish sand stretching over a small yet captivating length.

However, Elephant Trunk Beach has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does not have lifeguards on duty, bathroom access, or facilities for dogs or individuals with disabilities. Moreover, activities like camping and surfing are not options here, ensuring the beach maintains its tranquil vibe.

Nearby restaurants offer a delightful range of local cuisines, guaranteeing visitors have plenty of options to satisfy their culinary cravings.

However, visitors are advised to arrive early to find convenient roadside parking and ensure they park their vehicles in a manner that does not obstruct traffic or access to local residences.

Fun facts about Elephant Trunk Beach stem from its unique name, which is inspired by the natural rock formations resembling an elephant's trunk that can be observed near the beach.
