The Northeastern coast of Taiwan is blessed with a wide a number of beach spots locals can relax in. But many Taiwanese locals do not find pleasure lounging along the shore. Where they do find excitement is surfing in Yilan. Here are some of the more popular spots when surfing in the northeastern region of Taiwan.

Go surfing at Fulong Beach
  1. Daxi Honeymoon Bay – The Daxi Honeymoon Bay is one of the most famous spots to surf in Taiwan. The Daxi Bay is a rock and sandy beach of about 500 meters long. Its waves break at three points with the best breaks experienced during the winter season. The honeymoon bay has plenty of surfing shops that offer renting, lessons and accommodations. The scenery along the beach is breathtaking but make sure to never walk along the shore barefoot as there are plenty of broken glass and sharp gravels that has become a recurring problem of the beach. Despite so, the Daxi Honeymoon Bay is flocked by local surfers every weekend.
  2. Fulong – The Fulong Beach is a 3 to 4 kilometer long beach shore of fine golden sand. The beach has no reefs while the water is relatively warm. The main waves break next to jetty with the good ones during the spring and fall season. During summer, waves at the Fulong Beach remain perfect for beginners. However, waves during the typhoon season are extremely high and can only be suitable for experienced surfers. Big waves will cause strong currents and rips so novice surfers should be warned not to challenge themselves to avoid any accidents from happening.
  3. Wai’ao – The Wai’ao Beach has a 700-meter long shore of black fine sand. Its north and south ends are full of rocks so make sure to avoid surfing in such areas to avoid hitting the rocks. Wave conditions at Wai’ao are fast and powerful especially during the winter and typhoon seasons. Waves during spring and fall are consistent while the summer season is expected to have the best waves for beginners. Compared to the Honeymoon Bay and Fulong Beach, there are fewer surfers here, which makes it all the more fun to surf in.
  4. Wushih Harbor – The Wushih harbor has a beach similar to Wai’ao of fine black sand but only larger in size. It would take a pretty long walk from the beach to the sea. Strong currents and rips should be expected at the Wushih harbor with choppy and huge waves during the winter season. As expected, waves in Wushih Harbor are of the same size as the ones from other beaches. The main break point along the beach is the one next to the jetty but you can find equally good waves from both sides of the beach.

    The Wushih Harbor gets extremely crowded during the weekends and summer months with locals that come to relax. The scenery is exceptionally spectacular with an amazing view of the Turtle Island from afar.

Wave conditions in the northeastern part of Taiwan are mainly affected by the weather so make sure to plan surfing trips accordingly. The best thing about surfing spots in this region is that the beaches are found close to each other, making transportation from one beach to next pretty convenient. This then makes surfing in Yilan even better than it already is.
