Hop a direct bus to Dongshan City on Dongshan Island, the town is inland so grab a moto taxi to the beach. On the east coast of Dongshan there are three beaches, the most north beach is full of guesthouses, bars and restaurants. You need to get to the long beach with a fishing village.

Additional Information
Any system in the South China Sea will generate waves, the tide movement is huge so there is always beach break with tidal movement. The island is not very big 25 km from north to south, easy to check multiple beaches in a short time. Winter is extremly windy. We have broken in the moto taxi guys so if you turn up they will know what you want and take you to the right beach.

Atmosphere
Locals very friendly, a crowd will gather to watch you surf and when you exit the water they may invite you to their house for tea. Plenty to explore during the day if its flat, nightlife is suprisingly fun, accomodation cheap and seafood right off of the boat.
