Magang Fishing Port Introduction
Magang Fishing Port, located in Gongliao District, New Taipei City, is the easternmost fishing village in Taiwan. It is adjacent to the Northern Coastal Highway and sits right at the coastline directly below Sandiaojiao Lighthouse. Nearby, there are suitable spots for rock fishing, such as Lailai Fishing Ground and Magang Fishing Ground, while the Sandiaojiao Lighthouse stands on the mountainside, making it a fishing port with a very advantageous geographic location. The fishing boats from Magang operate primarily in the waters around Guishan Island and Sandiao Bay, engaging in nearshore fishing with same-day returns. The main catches include grouper, skipjack tuna, small squid, cuttlefish, and lobster. Half of the catch is sold locally, while the other half is sent to the Keelung City market for auction or processing. Magang features large marine erosion platforms, some of which have beautifully curved erosion patterns, making it an excellent spot to watch waves and see local residents fishing and gathering seaweed. Enjoy the vast sea view while breezing in the sea wind, and take the opportunity to visit the Extreme East Café in Taiwan for a cup of coffee. Online, Magang Fishing Port is also referred to as Cat Village, as there are many cats here, found everywhere from the plaza and embankment to street corners and rooftops of old houses.
