The golden beach in front of Donglin Coastal Park was once, like all beaches in Kinmen, covered with landmines and anti-landing obstacles. As cross-strait tensions eased, those military defenses were removed. Today, this high-quality golden beach on the southeast coast of Donglin Settlement is a great place for visitors to enjoy the sea and walk along the waves, with clean, unpolluted surroundings that have made it one of Little Kinmen’s major attractions.
