Taiwan is home to some amazing and varied beaches. From lively seaside towns with perfectly groomed white sands to remote, beautiful beaches and sand sculpting competitions, they all have something different to offer. Here are four of the best.

Probably the most popular seaside town in the country, Kenting is fully devoted to the beach life 365 days a year. The town itself is full of market stalls, restaurants, bars, and guesthouses while there are also a few high-end hotels. The beach is fine white sand and kept in wonderful condition throughout the year.

As part of Kenting National Park, the town is an ideal base for exploring the many sights of the area such as Maobitou, the southernmost tip of Taiwan. The National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium (NMMBA) is also just a short drive from the town and is a great place to spend a day.
