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, right at the coastline directly below the Sandiaojiao Lighthouse. Nearby, there are suitable areas for rock fishing like Lailai Rock Fishing Area and Magang Rock Fishing Area. The Sandiaojiao Lighthouse is situated on the mountains behind, making it a fishing port with an excellent geographical location. The fishing boats from Magang operate mainly around Guishan Island and Sandiaowan Fishing Ground, belonging to nearshore fishing, with same-day returns. The main catches include snapper, bonito, small squid, cuttlefish, and lobsters. About half of the catch is sold locally, while the other half is sent to the Keelung City market for auction or processing. Magang features a large sea erosion platform, with some coastal erosion patterns displaying beautiful curves, making it an excellent spot to observe waves and see local people fishing and collecting sea vegetables. Enjoying the vast sea view while feeling the sea breeze is a perfect way to relax, and you can also visit the café at Taiwan's easternmost point for a cup of coffee. Online, Magang Fishing Port is also referred to as Cat Village, due to the abundance of cats here; their presence can be seen everywhere, from the squares, embankments, alley corners to the rooftops of old houses.
