Zhongjiao Beach (Zhongjiao Bay) essentials

Address: Jinshan, New Taipei City, Taiwan

Zhongjiao Beach (Zhongjiao Bay) is a modest bay on the northern coastline of New Taipei’s Jinshan district, looking out over the Pacific. The setting combines a sandy shoreline with rocky headlands and a typically rugged north-coast character.

This stretch of coast has a maritime climate and seasonal changes in sea and weather conditions; the shore atmosphere is quieter than more developed bathing beaches, and visits are often about scenery, walking and local coastal life rather than resort amenities.

A short visit lets you take in the bay, watch the light on the water at sunrise or sunset, and combine the stop with other north-coast sights; facilities at small beaches can be limited, so plan accordingly and check local information for safety and services.

  • Shoreline and beach walk: A straightforward walk along the bay gives views of the sand, surf and the changing coastline.
  • Sunset and Pacific views: The open seaward aspect makes the bay a pleasant spot for sunset light and wide ocean views.
  • Rocky headlands and tide pools: Rocky outcrops at the edges of the bay produce small tide-pool areas and coastal textures worth exploring at low tide.
  • Local coastal life: You can observe small-scale fishing activity and neighborhood coastal scenes in the nearby Jinshan area.
  • Nearby northern-coast attractions: The bay sits on the same stretch of coast visitors combine with sights such as Yehliu Geopark.
