Badouzi Fishing Harbor is an important fishing port on Keelung's northern coast, equipped with a fish direct-sales center. The settlement surrounding the harbor is the Badouzi community, which retains the character of a traditional fishing village. Located close to Chaojing Park and the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST), it serves as an entry point to understanding the fishing culture of the northern coast.
What to See at Badouzi Fishing Harbor
The Badouzi Peninsula juts out along the northern coast, and the harbor was built to take advantage of the natural topography. Most of the fishing boats inside are small-scale inshore vessels. The fish direct-sales center offers the local catch for sale, with the selection varying by season. The residential layout and way of life in the Badouzi settlement still carry the hallmarks of a fishing village — noticeably different from more heavily developed tourist areas.
Harbor operations are most active in the early morning, and the direct-sales center has the best supply after it opens. Walking along the waterfront, you can observe fishing boats, fishing gear, and the everyday routines of a working harbor. Badouzi is geographically close to Chaojing Park, Wangyou Valley, and NMMST, making a half-day or full-day northern coast itinerary straightforward to plan.
