About Riyue Bay
The atmosphere is more active and informal than a secluded resort beach. A first visit can be as simple as watching surfers and walking the public shore; lessons should be booked with a qualified operator who assesses conditions and ability. Waves and currents are part of the attraction for surfers, not evidence that casual swimming is suitable.
What to look for
- Surfers and changing wave conditions from the public beach.
- The café and surf-school streets behind the shoreline.
The surrounding area
East-coast base combining Riyue Bay with Xinglong coffee culture; these are different local areas.
Location & getting there
