Lead Bridge Beach: A hidden gem in Dulan, Taitung

🌅 Enchanting scenery of black fine sand and a sky mirror

Lead Bridge Beach is located along the Dulan coast in Donghe Township, Taitung County. Its unique sand, covered with fine black gravel, offers a comfortable barefoot experience and, during low tide, reflects the sky like a "Taiwanese version of the Sky Mirror," leaving visitors in awe. Though unassuming, the beach's stunning light and shadow changes during sunrise and sunset make it a favorite among photographers and social media enthusiasts.

🏄 A secluded paradise for wave walkers and surfers

Due to its sparse visitors, lack of formal signage, and parking facilities, Lead Bridge Beach retains its pristine charm. It’s not only ideal for strolling along the waves but also attracts skilled surfers to challenge its surf spots. Additionally, it serves as a secret haven for canoe and windsurfing enthusiasts. Walking along the coast, stepping on smooth pebbles, and listening to the waves crashing is the closest dialogue between humans and the sea.

🌄 Dreamy sunrise, blending culture and nature

At dawn, waiting for the sunrise by the beach, the sound of waves accompanies the gradually brightening sky; the orange-pink horizon reflects on the tranquil beach, creating a poetic and picturesque scene. Note that during high-temperature periods, the beach is open and lacks shade, so visiting early or late is recommended. Also, respect the mountain and sea culture of the Dulan indigenous people, protect the environment, and avoid wearing swimsuits directly onto the shore.

Lead Bridge Beach is a private coastal retreat that combines nature, culture, and the joy of exploration. Without the crowds, you can enjoy photography, wave walking, fishing, and wave watching. If you're traveling around Taiwan or exploring Dulan at a leisurely pace, visiting this black sand hidden gem will surely calm your heart and leave you with a sense of returning to simplicity.
