Getting there & back
Is tonight worth it at Bali Fishing Pier Beach?
The app scores every spot from the forecast at its own sunset hour, with the seven-day outlook and the last train home. Six spots are free.
The spot
A secret spot in Bali across from Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf, this little beach, only accessible by bike/scooter or walking, offers secluded views of gorgeous sunsets.
The Bali Fishing Pier Beach also has rare views of a sandy beach that kind of looks like a desert in the right light, and with strong wind blowing sand in your face, it feels like a desert too.
From Guandu Station, you can take the R13 (紅13) bus to Shihsanhang Cultural Park and walk maybe 20 minutes or bike from there. Or, as I mentioned, if you happen to be on a bike up to the Bali area at sunset time, you can add this to your stop.
Since 2026 the Danjiang Bridge crosses the river mouth just north of here. The east end of this beach is the one Bali-side spot the Highway Bureau lists for the bridge at sunset, and only from June to early July, when the sun lines up with it; the Tamsui bank has the better angles the rest of the year.
