Taitung is not only mountains and rice fields—it’s also one of the best places in
Taiwan to surf. Along the East Coast, the Pacific Ocean sends strong, steady waves,
attracting surfers from around the world.
The most famous spot is Donghe. The beach is wide, the waves are consistent, and
the surfing community is friendly. Beginners can take lessons, while advanced surfers
can chase bigger waves.
Surfing in Taitung is more than a sport—it’s a lifestyle. Imagine waking up early,
carrying your surfboard, and running into the cool blue water. The first wave lifts
you, and for a moment, you feel free.
Besides surfing, visitors enjoy stand-up paddle boarding (SUP), snorkeling, or
relaxing on the beach. After surfing, nothing feels better than sitting with friends,
drinking coconut water, and watching the sunset.
If you want adventure, come to Taitung. The ocean is always calling: “Let’s surf!”
