The park is situated on a former military coastal defense site, repurposed into a public green space.
The site provides a direct view of the Qingshui Cliffs from the northern vantage points during clear weather.
Geologically, the coastline here is characterized by uplifted terrace deposits rather than sandy beaches.
Meilun Coast Park is a scenic recreational area situated along the Pacific coastline in Hualien City, Taiwan. The park features a paved coastal trail popular for walking, jogging, and cycling that connects to the larger Hualien coastal bike path network. It serves as a transition zone between the urban landscape of Hualien and the rocky eastern shoreline. The terrain is largely flat with intermittent grassy areas and unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can observe local maritime flora and access the adjacent pebbled beaches. It is a frequent starting or ending point for cyclists traveling along the Hualien coast.

Bring sun protection as the park has limited natural shade along the coastal path.
Check wind conditions; the eastern exposure can result in strong ocean breezes year-round.
Carry mosquito repellent if visiting during the humid summer evenings.
Do not attempt to swim in the ocean here, as the currents are strong and the rocky seabed is hazardous.
Cyclists must yield to pedestrians on shared paths; keep noise levels low to respect local residents living nearby.
