Tide Pools

Travel clockwise to the southern end of Lanyu. Before arriving at the nuclear waste storage site, there are two small tide pools on the left in front of the storage site. Albeit inconspicuous, the crystal clear sea water is teeming with marine life such as coral, clown fish, and other fish species. With a depth of about 6 meters, the pools boast a rich underwater ecology and refreshing water.
