The venue doesn't have a prominent building; after checking in at the counter, you'll head straight to the beach for the briefing. There are no private changing rooms, only simple outdoor showers and changing facilities, and no lockers are provided. A lifeguard and observation deck are stationed on the shore, making this the only Penghu SUP area with a dedicated lifeguard. The SUP experience area extends about 100 meters from the shore, marked by buoys and ropes. In addition to standard SUP, they also offer clear kayaks and clear SUP tours. There are four sessions daily, and groups can form with just one person. ### 陽光沙灘俱樂部 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Penghu's Only Lifeguard-Patrolled Waters REVIEWED BY [Ariel](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Ariel/) Sunshine Beach Club is one of the few Penghu SUP venues that allows solo bookings, and it's a safe choice for beginners thanks to clearly marked SUP zones and lifeguards on shore. However, the pre-activity instruction is relatively brief, without extensive SUP lessons. Also, be aware that this venue does not have private changing rooms; after your session, you'll need to use the outdoor fixed showers for a quick rinse. I was lucky enough to spot a sea turtle during my SUP experience. Overall, Ariel believes Sunshine Beach Club's SUP is better suited for experienced stand-up paddlers who don't need coaching and appreciate the convenience of going out solo. It's also ideal for those who prefer to skip lengthy lessons and get straight to enjoying the water.

It's close to the famous Shanshui Beach and the diving hotspot, Hangwan. The venue is an outdoor space with a corrugated metal roof, offering options for Penghu SUP or SUP combined with snorkeling. Inside, you'll find free lockers with keys and communal restrooms. After checking in and getting geared up, you'll ride your own scooter to meet the instructor at the launch point. The location for these SUP experiences varies depending on the day's wind direction and tides, taking place at either Shanshui Beach or Hangwan. SUP experiences are by reservation only, with a minimum of four people per group. If your group is smaller, you can join another group. You can choose between morning or afternoon sessions. Depending on the weather and sea conditions, you can also book sunrise or sunset sessions, though these are slightly more expensive than standard sessions. ### 樂福海洋工坊 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Longer Experiences, Further Out to Sea REVIEWED BY [Ariel](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Ariel/) Ariel tried Love Ocean Workshop's sunrise Penghu SUP experience, which took place in Suogang Hangwan, chosen for its ideal sunrise orientation and wind conditions. Since the venue is a short distance from the launch point, participants ride scooters there after checking in and getting geared up. The instructor was thorough, covering everything from the history of SUP to adjusting paddle length before getting in the water, with a very detailed and serious introduction. The session began with practicing boarding techniques and self-rescue after falling in, all near the shore. Once everyone was comfortable, the group paddled out to a more distant area. Throughout the experience, the instructor stayed nearby, offering guidance, taking photos, and ensuring safety. Ariel fell in a couple of times, and the instructor was always there, gently teaching how to get back on the board, which made her feel very secure! The overall duration and distance of this SUP experience are longer than other venues. We recommend this Penghu SUP for energetic, younger adventurers.

The venue is spacious, with clearly divided changing rooms, equipment areas, and classroom spaces. It also features password-protected lockers and separate male and female shower facilities. In addition to Penghu SUP, they also offer other marine activities and packages, including snorkeling, Underwater Walk, and cliff jumping. The area for this SUP experience is Shanshui Beach. The venue is within walking distance of the launch point and is not affected by tides. While there are many instructors, group consolidation is generally not necessary. However, activities require advance booking. In addition to fixed daytime sessions, sunrise and sunset SUP sessions are also available for reservation. ### 海底漫步 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #10-second walk to Shanshui Beach for Penghu SUP REVIEWED BY [Ariel](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Ariel/) The instructor starts with a briefing on shore, then helps each group safely get on their boards and into the water. Near the shore, there are other swimmers and the waves at Shanshui Beach can be quite active, so it's important to pay attention to your direction. The instructor stays with you throughout the activity, monitoring the situation and encouraging you to try different poses for photos. If you fall in, there's no need to worry; the instructor will help you get back on your board. The changing rooms at Underwater Walk were what impressed me most. Many other venues offering these activities in Penghu have limited, mixed-gender changing facilities, but here, they are separate for men and women, and there are plenty of them. The venue has many instructors and the space is well-organized, allowing visitors to get started quickly without feeling cramped or chaotic. I recommend this Penghu SUP experience to anyone who loves taking beautiful photos and values privacy. After your session, you can stay and enjoy Shanshui Beach for more fun and photos.

The venue looks more like a private residence with an added awning, and the overall facilities are quite basic. It's about a 15-minute drive from the airport. Inside, you'll find free lockers with combination locks and shared restrooms. After your Penghu SUP activity, you'll be treated to a local specialty, "pumpkin cake," as a snack — this is one of the few venues offering refreshments after the activity. The water activities offered are all package deals; there's no standalone SUP experience. You can choose to combine it with waterskiing or kayaking, or opt for the triple combo of windsurfing, waterskiing, and kayaking. Activities require a minimum of four participants to form a group. If your group is smaller than four, you can join another group. There are four time slots available each day. ### 澎湖休閒工坊 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Calm Inner Sea: Even Beginners Can Easily Stand Up on a SUP Board REVIEWED BY [Ariel](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Ariel/) Ariel chose a Penghu kayak and SUP experience. Before getting in the water, she practiced at the venue, where the instructor provided one-on-one guidance on paddling posture. Ariel found the personalized adjustments for each guest's skill level to be very thoughtful! During the experience, it's important to pay attention to the tides. If it's low tide, you'll need to walk across an intertidal zone to reach the launch point. The instructor taught self-rescue methods beforehand, but they won't accompany you during the activity. If you want photos, you can ask the instructor for help. Penghu Leisure Workshop is one of the few Penghu SUP venues located in the inner sea. While you won't see the vast expanse of sea and sky, you can enjoy views of the city and observe Penghu's cage aquaculture. Because the inner sea is calmer, with less wind and waves, beginners have a greater chance of successfully standing up on the board. However, there are oyster rafts near the water, so be careful not to get too close to avoid injury. Also, the venue states that photography is not an obligation, so it's recommended to bring your own camera equipment.

Penghu SUP is a water activity suitable for all ages, but safety is paramount.
