The best place to catch the sea in Qinhuangdao

The best places to catch the sea in Qinhuangdao include Laolongtou, Dongshan Bathing Beach, and Pigeon Nest Park.

1. Laolongtou

There are many treasures on the beach near Laolongtou. Yellow clams are the most common, and there are also many white clams. If you see a U-shaped hole on the beach, congratulations, you are about to harvest delicious clams, because this small hole is probably the breathing hole of the clam. If you are not sure whether it is a real breathing hole, you can stamp your foot on the edge of the hole. If water spurts out, it proves that there is indeed a clam, so don't wait and dig quickly.

2. Dongshan Bathing Beach

Dongshan Bathing Beach is located near Nanshan Street to the east of the scenic spot where Emperor Qin sought immortality and entered the sea. It is a good place to catch the sea. The water is clean, the sand is soft, and There are also some rocks at the eastern end of the bathing beach. Near the rocks is one of the favorite hiding places for small crabs, small fish, oysters and other small seafood. Oysters have hard shells and usually stick to rocks. It is difficult to completely remove the whole oyster in the shell. It is recommended that you use an awl to pry open the oyster shell when you are going to sea, and only take out the meat and put it in a small bucket to take home.

3. Pigeon Nest Park

The beach near Pigeon Nest Park is flat and the shoals are gentle and large. When the sea water gradually recedes, there is no place to hide all kinds of seafood. You will also get a good harvest on this beach, and you may encounter clams, razor clams, and small octopuses. Razor clams like to dig burrows on soft mudflats and shovel the sand with a shovel. If you see small holes in the sand during the shoveling process, you have basically found the residence of razor clams.

Notes on catching the sea

1. Time

It is generally best to catch the sea during the spring flood season, because the sea water recedes far and fast during the spring flood season, especially for shellfish. Seafood has been slower to move. When the sea recedes, these shellfish are left on the beach or mudflats. The best times for this big flood are on the two days before and after the second and sixteenth day of each month in the lunar calendar.

2. Weather

When the south wind blows, the south wind and southwest wind are the best, and the stronger wind is the best. The tide will recede with the help of the wind. It's much farther when there's no wind. The best time is when the weather suddenly changes (preferably cloudy) or when the northwest wind blows with level 4 to 5 for a few hours and then turns southerly.

3. Equipment

You can imitate the local seafarers and wear thick "work clothes", such as boots, gloves, etc. I will also wear a hat and scarf and be prepared for sun protection. Also bring tools for catching the sea: nets, rakes and other tools.
