Dong Sha
Edit SpotAbout
Never go there if you're not sure the swell is coming. It is safer to go only before or after a typhoon has passed by (June-September).
The bay of Nan Sha (the one a little bit west), is not good for surfing as the swell is breaking on rocks far far out.
The water is very brown (visibily: less than 5cm...). Watch out for sharp objects on the bottom, and polution.
