Nanwan (South Bay)
南湾
One of Kenting's busiest beaches, with a wide bay, fine white sand, and a concentration of water activities such as banana boats and jet skis.
Nanwan (South Bay) is the first large bay you reach on Route 26 as you enter Kenting. The beach is about 600 meters long, with fine white sand and clear water. It was Kenting's earliest developed swimming beach and is also the center of water activities. Banana boats, jet skis, and parasailing are run by businesses along the shore. On the west side of the bay you can see the domes of the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant No. 3, and in winter, when the wind is strong, the waves get big. The beach is free, but agree on the price of water activities before you start. Swim only in areas with lifeguards, and don't park on the red-painted curbs along the road.
