Shitiping
石梯坪
A volcanic rock coastline beside the East Coast Highway, with terraced wave-cut platforms stepping down into the sea. A good spot for sunrise and tide pools.
Shitiping lies beside Route 11 in Fengbin Township and is made of volcanic agglomerate and tuff. Wave erosion has carved stepped wave-cut platforms, potholes and tide pools. At low tide you can observe marine life, and it is a popular spot for watching sunrise and camping on the East Coast. It is about 65 km from Hualien City, roughly 1.5 hours by car, and pairs well with the Tropic of Cancer marker and the Xiuguluan River mouth in a one-day coastal trip. The rock surfaces are rough and slippery, so watch the waves.
