🐚 Best times to dig for clams in Kinmen

Kinmen has the largest tidal range in Taiwan, and the sand flats it exposes at low tide are where people dig for clams. The windows below are worked out from the low-tide times, and only daylight lows that drop far enough are listed, two weeks ahead.

Each window runs from two hours before low tide to one hour after. The tail is shorter on purpose -- that hour is your walk back to shore.

The rating only reflects how far the tide goes out: excellent under 80 cm, good under 130, fair under 180. Anything higher barely exposes the flats and is left out.

⚠️ Before you go out

  • The tide comes back fast. Be ashore before the window ends, and never keep following the water out.
  • Parts of the Kinmen coast still have anti-landing spikes and mine warnings. Stay on open flats where other people are, and turn back at any warning sign.
  • Shellfish gathering is regulated by the Kinmen County Government (no powered tools, size limits, closed seasons). Keep clear of military zones and sensitive cross-strait waters.
  • These windows account for tides and daylight only -- not waves, fog or marine warnings. Check the forecast for the day before you set out.
  • Go with at least one other person, wear grippy shoes, carry a phone and keep an eye on the time.

Heights are centimetres above chart datum, the level the sea almost never falls below -- so the number is always positive, and a smaller one means more exposed flats.
