If you are in Keelung or Taipei and you want to get to the beach as soon as possible, Dawulun Beach is your closest option. This beach, which is often referred to as "Waimushan" (外木山), is located in the Waimushan coastal area just outside of Keelung on scenic route that leads from Keelung to the tourist towns of Yehliu and Jinshan. This beach sees a lot of traffic on weekends and holidays during the summer months, so if you want to avoid the crowds you will have to aim for a weekday.
realThe sand quality at this beach arguable the best out of all the beaches of North Taiwan. The white sand is soft, clean and most often devoid of any ocean debris. The water at this beach is usually quite calm and the underwater slope is gradual, making it a popular choice for families with children. When calm, the water is very clear, and thanks to the white sand at the bottom, Waimushan's waters are the bluest out of all the beaches on the North Coast of Taiwan. |
- Things to do -
Dawulun Beach is basically orientated towards those who are looking for a place to play in the sand and splash around at the water's edge. The water is very accessible for people who are not strong at swimming, which is why families with young children usually make up the major portion of the beach population.
Thanks the the exceptionally clear waters, Dawulun is the only beach in the north where snorkeling activities can be taken into consideration (there are certainly other places on the north coast to snorkel, but you will be launching from a rocky shore).
There are a few shops next to the beach which sell various beach-type merchandise, but the options are quite limited. There is also a lack convenience stores conveniently located nearby, so be prepared. If you do find yourself needing to make a run to a convenient store the nearest option is up the hill in the area of Dawulun, but if you have to contend with weekend traffic, it can be tough.
