Taiwan 2024 - Northeast Coast, Beach Lookout Tower

Our daughter and soon-to-be son-in-law both love the beach, so we built some time in at one up on the northeast coast of the island.  What passes for a beach in Taiwan is very different from what we think of in most other parts of the world, however.  Generally they are not places where you can freely swim or grab a board and surf; they are usually rocky and pretty dangerous.  But it was nice for them to be able to actually be at a beach where there is (that day very strong) wind in your face with a view of lapping waves against the rocks.  The building above was evidently built to do just that - provide a good view of the ocean and surf.
