Donghe
Donghe is Taiwan's surfing showcase—a rivermouth break on the island's wild Pacific coast that hosts international competitions and represents the heart of Taiwanese surf culture. The setup creates multiple peaks that work across various conditions, from typhoon swells in summer to northeast monsoon swells in winter. The dramatic coastal scenery, indigenous Amis culture, and emerging surf scene make Donghe a fascinating destination for those seeking waves off the beaten path. Taiwan's surf potential remains largely untapped, and Donghe is the gateway to discovering it.
