Illustrative →Keelung Lighthouse Trail
Tracing the high ground along Keelung Harbor's west coast, the Lighthouse Trail sits beside the Baimihuo Battery at No. 49, Lane 37, Guanghua Road. The path is mostly flat and exposed, so sun protection is essential in summer.

Illustrative →Daping Coast
A tidal-pool paradise at Badouzi, Daping Coast reveals seaweed-draped reefs, tiny fish, crabs and shellfish when the tide retreats. There is no entrance fee and a free parking lot, with city bus 103 dropping visitors at Badouzi station for a short walk in. Bring grippy shoes, sun hat and sunscreen, and check the Keelung tide table to arrive one to two hours around low tide. The reef terrain is not stroller-friendly, and the site pairs naturally with the Marine Science Museum and Wangyou Valley for a full coastal day.
