Tanghou Beach Introduction
Tanghou Beach, a must-visit family destination in Matsu, is located next to the Matsu Airport. It was originally a sandbar connecting Tangqi Village and Hou'ao Village. Renowned for its fine and pristine sand, it is often referred to as "Sugar Sand." The beach spans several hundred meters and resembles a plain in the sea. During high tide, the beach is submerged, leaving only a small path visible; at low tide, the sandy shores gradually emerge, revealing a rare topography. However, due to the construction of Matsu Airport and for the convenience of transportation connections, a road was built through the middle of the sandbar, splitting the beach in two, thus the unique scenery of "Sha Lian Island" is no longer the same. Nowadays, walking along the beach not only allows visitors to feel the fine sand and cool sea water underfoot but also to witness planes taking off and landing up close, making it a unique airport scenery that is rarely found in the world, which is worth experiencing during the wait for boarding. From March to September each year is the viewing season for Matsu's blue tears. When the waves crash on the shore, the blue bioluminescence sparkles amidst the waves, creating a mesmerizing scene. Walking along the beach with the waves, you can see the blue glow surrounding your feet sparkling. If you wish to admire the beautiful blue tears, be sure to seize the right moment!
