Rising Sun Surf Inn

Northern Taiwan


Savour postcard-perfect views of Turtle Island from the balcony of this hostel and surf school right on Wai'ao Beach, offering mixed and female-only dorms and one Japanese-style twin. Candy, the ocean-loving Taiwanese owner, knows the area's surf scene, hiking and other attractions inside out. Simple meals like dumplings and acai bowls are available, along with breakfast.

Owner Candy is involved in marine education in the local community and is always keen to hear from people willing to volunteer on anything from beach clean-ups to water safety talks in local schools.
