緊鄰國聖港燈塔，為一臨海沙洲，七股內海南端的屏障，由台灣西部河川所沖積出來的砂土，經過台灣海峽海浪挾帶這些砂土，長年累月地堆積而漸漸露出海面所造成狹長型的沙洲，一片荒漠的景觀在台灣實在難得一見，有人認為與鳥取沙丘有異曲同工之妙，也有人稱頂頭額沙洲為台灣版的撒哈拉沙漠，每當夕陽西下時分，整片沙洲起伏的光影線條變的明顯起來，讓許多攝影師流連忘返，也因為此處的靜謐常有人帶著瑜珈墊來此沉靜心靈，面對著寬廣的大海做著瑜珈，近年因為網路的美照瘋傳，成為許多人探險拍照打卡的必到聖地。
Right next to Guosheng Lighthouse is a seafront sandbank which forms the southern border of Qigu Lagoon. Sand from the alluvial deposits of Taiwan's western rivers, carried by the waves of the Taiwan Strait, constantly accumulates and has gradually formed a long and narrow sandbank at sea level. Barren landscapes are rare in Taiwan, and some feel it is equal to the Tottori sand dunes in Japan, while some call it the Taiwanese version of the Sahara Desert. At sunset, the sandbank's undulating lines cause many photographers to linger, and because of its tranquility some people bring yoga mats to stretch facing the vast ocean. In recent years, due to the popularity of posting photos on the internet, the sandbank has become a hot spot for many people to take photographs and check-in.
