Longmen Beach

About 20 minutes from Magong, is Longmen Village, which has one of the best swimming beaches around. Getting there isn’t particularly straightforward, but this keeps the beach quiet and undeveloped. Once you get to Longmen Village you have to keep going and make your way through narrow country roads, past garzing cows and peanut fields, all without much signage. You might come across a small secluded rocky beach, that’s not it, keep going. It’s worth the trip once you get there. The beach is stunning and has recently been equipped with quirky army inspired toilet, shower and shade facilities. With it’s new facilities, the beach makes for another excellent camping spot – just bring the bbq! The sand here is blindingly white and the water clear and azure. It’s safe for swimming and isn’t as  rocky as Aimen Beach or as over-popuated with tourists as Shanshui Beach. Thankfully the locals seem to have dealt with the only issue, one of trash blowing ashore from fishing boats, which became a problem during the windy months. If you’re looking for something really chilled out and prefer to be one of the only people on the beach, this place is perfect.
