Sail Rock/船帆石

Sail Rock is a famous land mark of Kenting.
船帆石是墾丁知名的地標。

The rock is actually a reef that tumbled down from the nearby mountain. It's 18 meters in height and shaped like a sail boat. Upon closer look, the shape even resembles the former US president Nixon's back of the head!
事實上這石塊是附近山上滾落的珊瑚礁。高約18公尺,很像一艘帆船。近看甚至像前美國總統尼克森頭的後部! 0654a4c460f14878f0cecf50d83e0905

There is a Sand Island next to Sail Rock; unlike the name suggests, it's actually a beach and surprisingly, the finest shell beach in Kenting. Tourists used to carry the sand away, and some even used trucks to do large volume smuggling for private sales.
船帆石旁有個砂島;砂島不像名字提到的,事實上是海灘,而讓人驚訝的,這是墾丁最純淨的貝殼沙灘。以前遊客常把沙子帶走,甚至還有人用卡車大量走私出去販賣。 a9bf13fc56f3d7ea597f100956427b5e

In order to conserve this world-class beach, the Taiwanese government established a reservation area around the perimeter. This wonder of nature is now fenced up by barbed wires. You can see the shell sand from the outside, but can't play with it. The shell beach now feels more like a shell sand exhibit.
為了保護這片世界級的沙灘,台灣政府在這周邊設立保護區。這個大自然的奇觀,現在被鐵絲網圍起來。你能從外面看貝殼沙但不能下去玩沙。貝殼沙灘現在看起來比較像貝殼沙的展示場地。
