Tanghou Beach Introduction
Tanghou Beach is a must-visit family destination located next to Matsu Airport in Beigan. Originally a sandbar connecting Tangqi Village and Hou’ao Village, it is renowned for its fine, white sand, earning the nickname "sugar sand." The beach stretches for hundreds of meters, resembling a flat plain in the sea. During high tide, the beach gets submerged, revealing only a small path; at low tide, the sandy beach on both sides gradually becomes exposed, creating a rare terrain where the tide hides the path and reveals the beach. However, due to the construction of Matsu Airport and the need for convenient transportation, a road was built in the middle of the sandbar, splitting the beach in two, and the unique scenery of "Sand Island" is no longer visible. Nowadays, strolling through the area allows you to feel the soft sand and cool seawater, and witness the close-up takeoffs and landings of planes, making it a unique airport landscape worth experiencing while waiting for your flight. From March to September, Beigan is also one of the spots to view the enchanting blue tears, with waves crashing ashore and blue bioluminescence sparkling between the waves. This mesmerizing sight allows you to see the blue glow surrounding your feet as you walk along the beach. If you want to enjoy the beautiful blue tears, be sure not to miss the opportunity!
