龜山島尾 "Tail" of Turtle Island
▲

According to records, the first residents of
the island arrived from Fujian and Taiwan during
the reign of Qing Emperor Guangxu. In 1977, the
residents of Turtle Island decided to move together
to the Gueishandao Community located in Dashi
Neighborhood, Touchen Town, and allow the island
to become a restricted area with only soldiers
stationed by the military. On August 1st, 2000, the
island was officially opened to tourists, and the
Northeast Coast Administrative Center began the
planning, development, and management of this
island. With its unique, rich and relatively untouched
ecological resources, the administrative center
decided to designate it as an outer seas ecological
park. This not only added a new recreational spot
for the Northeast Coast, but also encouraged the
development of the marine tourism industry.

島上除龜尾和北岸為礫石灘外，全島許多地方都是崩落堆積而成的崖堆、峭壁和海蝕洞，海底亦
是以崩落的大礁石為主。

龜山島的珊瑚礁位在龜尾東北岸，大約分布於岸邊水深1公尺以下到6公尺左右，長度約150公尺，
種類繁多且多采多姿的無脊椎動物，和五顏六色的珊瑚礁魚類在此棲息。與臺灣南部珊瑚礁的規模相
比較，此處屬於範圍較小的珊瑚礁區。根據調查結果顯示，其珊瑚大多都生長在大礁石上，水深超過

六公尺處即為沙泥底，珊瑚群體無法附著。
