Donghe Rivermouth
Edit SpotAbout
Good place when there is nothing else and can be quite fun.
Atmosphere:
This spot is where all the Taitung foreign locals surf all winter. It is their bread and butter. These guys are all soul surfers which is cool but none of them rip and there are a few kooks.
Additional Info:
Go see Peter at Donghe. He lives there and he surfs everyday. He knows all the spots around there.
