Jiqi Beach, a well-trodden ribbon of white sand, lies conveniently close to Toucheng Station, making it a favorite for those seeking an effortless beach day. The sand here is notably fine and pale, a soft cushion underfoot as you make your way to the water. The gentle slope into the ocean makes it particularly inviting for families with young children, or anyone looking for a calm, refreshing dip.
“Jiqi Beach stands out for its pristine white sand and unparalleled accessibility, offering a quintessential beach experience just moments from Toucheng's urban pulse.”

The beach hums with a gentle, consistent energy. You'll see locals setting up small tents for shade, children digging elaborate sandcastles, and couples strolling along the water's edge, collecting shells. The views extend across the Pacific, often dotted with fishing boats, and the distant mountains provide a dramatic backdrop, especially as the light softens in the late afternoon.
While not known for big surf, Jiqi Beach excels as a place for pure relaxation and easy enjoyment. The proximity to town means amenities are never far, from small eateries serving local specialties to shops for forgotten beach essentials. It’s a place where you can truly unwind, listen to the gentle lapping of the waves, and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, experiencing a slice of authentic Taiwanese coastal life.
