North Sea Visitor Center offers a free motorcycle parking lot. There is a 3-story high rock sitting behind the parking lot and we can observe its distinctive weathered surface. Due to the high-altitude location, cacti and cactus fruit can be found here. On top of the rock stand a pavilion and boardwalk. Chihkan Beach sits beside the center and is a beach full of pieces of coral and shells. Since few people are visiting here, the beach is kept clean.
