The name 'Jialeshui' originates from the Paiwan indigenous language, meaning 'waterfall by the sea'.
The park is home to a notable waterfall that flows directly into the Pacific Ocean, a relatively rare geographic feature.
Geologically, the area is characterized by sedimentary rock formations that have been exposed to high-energy wave erosion for millennia.
The coastline is part of a protected zone within Kenting National Park, enforcing strict regulations on fishing and resource extraction.
The region is a designated surfing hotspot due to its exposure to northeast monsoon winds, which create reliable year-round surf conditions.
Jialeshui Fishing Village Park is situated at the southeastern tip of the Hengchun Peninsula in Taiwan, where the Pacific Ocean meets the coast. The area is famous for its extensive collection of natural stone formations sculpted by long-term wave erosion and wind exposure. Visitors encounter geological features resembling various animals, such as the Frog Rock and Rabbit Rock, along the coastline. The park area serves as a primary access point for surfers who frequent the consistent swells at Jialeshui Beach. The surrounding landscape features rugged cliffs, grassy plateaus, and coastal vegetation characteristic of Kenting National Park. It remains one of the few places in the region where the mountain ranges terminate directly into the sea.

Bring a high-SPF sunscreen and a hat, as there is almost no natural shade along the coastal rock formations.
Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip to safely navigate the slippery and uneven sandstone surfaces.
Keep a safe distance from the water's edge, as strong rogue waves frequently hit these specific coastal cliffs.
Do not attempt to swim near the rock formations; the currents are extremely dangerous and rip tides are common.
Operations may be suspended during extreme weather conditions such as typhoons; verify local park announcements for sudden closures.
Do not climb on the protected rock formations, as they are fragile and legally protected within the national park zone.
