Fulong Beach — Attraction in New Taipei

I absolutely adore this beach and that’s why I keep coming back. And now that the area is opening up more arty coffee shops and restaurants, it makes this beach even more attractive to visit. This is a nice area to come to for a long weekend vacation. The area is nice and the beach is even better. It is only a 90 minute train ride away from Taipei which makes it even more popular. I would make sure to book way in advance as accommodation gets booked up pretty quickly especially around special holidays. There is a free beach which is right by the temple and is very cool. It can get really busy sometimes but there is a nice stretch of sand so you will be able to find space to lay your towels on and enjoy the ocean. And then the other side is a paid beach and is beautiful also but you have to go in another way. You would need to go towards Fullon Hotel Fulong and walk by the side and get in. I think my friend and I paid either 50 for 100ntd to get in. You have to walk over the bridge and then you come to the beach. Sometimes they have a section with beautifully sculptured sand art that you can go view and take...

Located adjacent to Fulong Village at the mouth of the Shuang River in Gongliao District. Frequently visited by Taipei residents during the summer due to its easy access from the city, Fulong is one of the more popular beach destinations in northern Taiwan. The sand on the beach is golden in colour, a rarity for Taiwan, attracting visitors from all over the island. Sand sculpture art festivals are held at the beginning of the summer every year.The Shuang River divides the beach into two distinct areas connected by the Rainbow Bridge. Entrance fee for the beach is NT$100 and includes usage of the park and beach facilities. There is also a free public beach slightly southeast next to the temple. For tourists it is recommended to visit the private beach as the entrance cost provides additional amenities.

To get to Fulong, take a train (TRA Train) from Taipei Main Station, towards Ruifang Station, here continue on a local train to Fulong. ( it's possible as well to travel direct from Taipei Main station to Fulong on the local train only, with the ride taking over...

I think it's the only beach in taipie heheh lol 😆, the best one for the high tech city guys. But it's like a 1.5 hour drive from Taipei bus station, around 60 kms, it's a like a one day trip because up and down it takes 3 hours and then due to covid, they only allow a certain number of people inside the beach in order to make sure there is enough social distancing. When I went it was a FULONG international sandwich sculpture art festival. IT WAS really great and awesome and exciting to see such wonderful giant sand sculptures. This time it was the PIXAR productions had all their movies made as a sand sculpture...

Their ticket included certain combos, one drink and one doritos packet. Even If the sculpture is not there then I think the beach is still paid. Some kind of entry fees is there, ITS NOT FREE.

U can bring ur camp sites and other swimming things and enjoy with ur family, Really has a good time over there.

Happy vacation...
