>The only big item left is Tamsui+Bali.
What are you planning for those? I literally lived in Tamsui for ten years and there wasn't really a lot to do. You can go out to the north coast, which is nice, and is what I did a lot, but that's not "Tamsui", you actually end up in other districts before you get to the beaches.
Shimen (the rock arch on the coast, not "Ximen" which is what Taiwanese always think foreigners are talking about) is a pretty little beach next to a fishing-boat harbor. I would avoid visiting on weekends because there's an obnoxious old lady who sells beach toys on weekends, and she brings a bicycle/clown horn that she honks every couple of minutes, which is annoying as fuck. HONKHONKHONK, wait a few minutes, HONKHONKHONK, lady will you fuck off I'm trying to relax to the wave noise, HONKHONKHONK, welcome to Taiwan motherfucker this is what these cunts do, HONKHONKHONK.
Baishawan is a little bit before Shimen and is a larger and nicer beach, but I prefer Shimen because less people other than that annoying bitch.
You can take some of the 86X buses out to either beach, 865 or 863 or 862. Check the stops on the map (Google Maps sometimes will show you specific stops and bus numbers that stop at them, sometimes they disable it and it might not work on mobile) carefully because some of them make detours inland. Here, I did a screencap for you.
Also, there's an excellent Vietnamese restaurant along the coastal road, named Lan Phuong. They make an absolutely fantastic shredded chicken salad, it's shredded chicken plus shredded cabbage plus some sort of spicy-sour sauce. The pho is also good there. Unfortunately Google is being a bitch and refuses to find it, but it's on the interior (south) side of the coastal road and IIRC is about 4km before Shimen, almost exactly halfway between two bus stops (not a far walk but you WILL have to walk, or waddle).
