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 situated right below the San Diego Cape Lighthouse along the coast. Nearby, there are suitable fishing spots for rock fishing, such as the Lai Lai Rock Fishing Area and Magang Rock Fishing Area. On the back mountain, there is the San Diego Cape Lighthouse, making this fishing port a location with excellent geographical advantages. Fishing boats from Magang operate extensively in the waters around Guishan Island and Sandiao Bay, engaging in nearshore fishing with same-day returns. The main catch includes seabream, skipjack tuna, small squid, soft-shelled squid, and lobsters. Half of the catch is sold locally, while the other half is transported to the market or processing plants in Keelung City for auction or processing. Magang features vast wave-cut platforms, with some geological erosion patterns displaying beautiful curves, making it a perfect spot to observe the waves and watch locals catch fish or collect seaweed. Enjoying the expansive sea view while being blown by the sea breeze, one can also visit Taiwan's easternmost café to grab a cup of coffee. On the internet, Magang Fishing Port is also referred to as Cat Village due to the abundance of cats found in the area, with their presence easily spotted in the squares, along the embankments, around street corners, and on the rooftops of old houses.
