Sail Rock, Coastal rock formation in Hengchun Township, Taiwan.
Sail Rock is a coastal rock formation in Hengchun Township that rises 18 meters above the water and naturally resembles a sailing vessel in profile. The structure is made of hard coral reef stone that rolled down from elevated plateaus over time.
Banana Bay near this site housed a whaling station in the previous century, marking a significant phase in local maritime history. This activity shaped the development of the surrounding coastal communities.
This rock holds meaning for local people as a symbol of their bond with the ocean and appears in their maritime traditions.
This formation is accessible via a newly built coastal road, about 4 kilometers south of Sheting Park and equipped with parking facilities. The location is straightforward to reach and offers clear landmarks for visitors.
The stone formation resists ocean currents and remains stable in its position despite its coastal setting, a natural phenomenon many visitors overlook. This persistence makes it a remarkable coastal geological feature.
