The beach at Dong Gang is about 2 kilometers long, and shallow. We have to launch from the water's edge. The beach starts at the southern end of a sizable harbor and you can see the island of Shao-Lio-Cho about 10 km straight out from the beach. There is a coast guard station with lifeguards and lots of shady trees with seats to rest in. Aside from typhoon season, which runs from May until October, we get lots of sunny days with wind. We get days with strong wind and use a 9 or smaller, and we get days when we need a 16 or bigger. Aside from typhoon season, which runs from May until October, we get lots of sunny days with wind. The rain here comes in torrents, and coupled with the steep high mountains in Taiwan, the runoff after a storm leaves lots of tree limbs, logs and other debris floating along the shores that eventually washes up on our beaches. The water is warm here, but the wind gets cold in December, so you'll need a light wetsuit until about March. Water: Shallow, Chop, Smallwave. Features: Shop, Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking.
