Overview

Badouzi Seaside Park is a coastal recreational area located on a former landfill site transformed into a landscaped green space in Keelung, Taiwan. The park features an extensive network of trails that trace the dramatic cliffside topography overlooking the East China Sea. Visitors can observe distinct volcanic rock formations and tidal platforms along the coastline. The park grounds are integrated into the larger National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST) campus. Native vegetation and wildflowers thrive along the steep paths, providing habitats for local coastal bird species. The area offers unobstructed views of Keelung Islet and the surrounding northern coast. It is designed with elevated wooden boardwalks and paved paths to manage foot traffic across the rugged terrain.

Insider tips

Wear athletic shoes with good grip, as the cliffside paths can be steep and occasionally slippery.

Bring sun protection, as the park is almost entirely exposed with minimal natural tree cover.

Visit during low tide if you intend to explore the rock pools safely along the shoreline.

What to avoid

Avoid walking off-trail, as the limestone rocks near the edge can be unstable or razor-sharp.

Etiquette

Stay on marked trails to protect the fragile coastal ecosystem and prevent erosion on the cliffs.
