Southwest Coast National Scenic Area

Southwest Coast National Scenic Area

Southwest Coast National Scenic Area is a central-government designated tourism area in Taiwan, Republic of China.

The scenic area, which was set up in November 2003, covers parts of Tainan County, Chiayi County, and Yunlin County. It promotes tourist attractions on land and at sea between Taiwan Highway 17 in the east, and where the ocean reaches a depth of 20 meters.

It includes the main winter habitat of the Black-faced Spoonbill, an endangered waterbird.

In addition to ecological attractions, the scenic area has several remnants of Taiwan's now-defunct salt industry.

The headquarters are in Beimen Rural Township, in Tainan County.
