Surfers at Honeymoon Bay

As someone who always have a camera on hand, it is not surprising to find long-forgotten photos on my hard drive. It is like going on memory lane, with the pictures bringing back memories. I used to visit the West coast of Taiwan rather frequently in the summer and here are some of the reasons for that.

Honeymoon Bay is one of the most popular beaches for surfers in Taiwan as the waves can get high enough for some surf, and it is not too far from Taipei, where most people from the North work and or live. It is easily accessible by train as the Dashi train station is very close.

Honeymoon Bay has different sections. The swimmers tend to use the southern area as the sand is better, and the foreigners like the northern area which is very rocky but very close to the station.

For anyone who has ever surfed, you would know why surfers have the tautest stomachs on the planet, without having to do 500 sit-ups every day - surfing really works one's stomach muscles. So for all those beer drinkers out there - it's time to take up surfing!
