Dapeng Bay Taiwan
We are touring around Taiwan in April and want to find a nice beach (with some high waves) to chill out for a few days. We had originally looked at Kenting but on closer inspection, it seems very touristy, overcrowded, and full of neon lights and loud people looking to get drunk. Can anyone recommend Dapeng Bay?
I wouldn’t really recomend Dapeng Bay, because during April, many tourist visit. Kenting is not a place like you described. If you try going to Kenting on week days, it would be pretty good. I espacially recomend the hotel Ceasar Hotel and a local very traditional hotel, that had a lot of Taiwanese culture. There a beach 10 minutes away by walking, and is a good beach websites to visit http://www.caesarpark.com.tw/en/taipei.php

Certain areas of Kenting is touristy and other areas are not. That whole territory is called Hengchun Peninsula:
This site will give you a lot of info on whats happening in that territory:
