According to the list of ‘Nantong's Most Popular Check-in Spots in the Eyes of Yangtze River Delta Tourists’ released by The Paper, the Tongzhou Bay Lighthouse was selected as one of the city's must-visit destinations. Located at the end of Binhai Avenue in the Tongzhou Bay Demonstration Zone, the lighthouse once served as one of the key navigational beacons on the coast of the Yellow Sea.

Beside the lighthouse lies a stretch of golden beach with fine, soft sand that feels warm and comfortable underfoot.

At low tide, the tidal flats are exposed, offering families a chance to grab buckets and shovels and search for small crabs, shells, and sea snails, enjoying the immersive experience of traditional seaside foraging.

在澎湃新闻发布的“长三角游客眼中的南通网红打卡地”榜单中，通州湾灯塔上榜，成为江海之畔最具氛围感的新晋地标。灯塔位于通州湾示范区滨海大道尽头，曾经是黄海之滨重要的航标之一。

灯塔旁的黄金沙滩沙质细软，光脚踩上去温暖又舒适。退潮时，滩涂露出，带着孩子拿着小桶、铲子能挖到小螃蟹、贝壳、螺等，沉浸式感受赶海乐趣。
