Longfengtou Beach (Pingtan)
龙凤头海滨浴场
A long sandy beach beside Pingtan county seat, with fine sand and gentle slopes. It's a favorite for sunrise, swimming and chasing the “blue tears.”
Longfengtou Beach stretches for several kilometers along the east side of Tancheng Town in Pingtan. Its fine, white sand and gentle slope face the Taiwan Strait. Swimming is allowed in summer, with lifeguards on duty, and the sunrise over the beach is spectacular. From April to June each year, glowing bioluminescent algae can create “blue tears” in the water at night, though this depends on weather and tides. The beach is free to access, and nearby you'll find seafood stalls and guesthouses, making it the most convenient seaside spot to stay near Pingtan county seat. Note: only swim in designated areas, and never enter the water when waves are strong.
