For many people, vegging out on the beach equals making the pilgrimage down to Kenting, the beach resort on the island's southernmost tip. Kenting has emerged as THE top beach on the island. True, during winter it's about the only place in Taiwan to enjoy a little beach culture, but during the long, lazy days of summer, Kenting isn't such a dream destination that I'd be willing to make the long journey more than once a year.
