Overview

Aimen Beach is a 3-kilometer-long stretch of white coral sand located on the southeast coast of Penghu Main Island. It serves as the primary hub for motorized water sports in the archipelago, including jet skiing, banana boating, and parasailing. The shoreline features a gradual slope and shallow waters, making it suitable for swimming during calm sea conditions. A beachfront promenade connects the area to neighboring Lintou Beach, effectively creating a continuous coastal park. On-site facilities include public showers, lockers, and a dedicated snack bar area. The beach is protected by a man-made wave breaker, which helps stabilize the sand and maintain a consistent beach profile throughout the year. It is frequently utilized for local Penghu festivals and large-scale outdoor events due to its accessibility from the main airport. The area is managed as a recreational zone with demarcated zones for both swimming and motorized water craft to ensure safety.

Insider tips

Rent an umbrella and deck chair from the beach club to secure a shaded spot, as natural tree coverage is limited on the sand.

Check the tide charts before visiting, as the beach expanse changes significantly between high and low tide.

Bring water shoes if you plan on walking to the rocky fringes, as the coral sand can be coarse in some sections.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim outside the marked safety zones, as currents can become unpredictable near the ends of the beach.

Etiquette

Use designated rinsing stations for sand removal before entering indoor facilities; respect all marked swimming boundaries.
