and salads. All meats are grass fed and organic. Catered events (which could include
lamb or pig on a spit) are welcome.

vations for groups of four or more are recommended.
Information
DANGERS & ANNOYANCES
The beach is officially closed from October to May but people still come here to surf and
swim. The beach is usually pretty dirty at this time unless a crew has been in recently to
clean it up.
The currents at Fulong can be treacherous in places, especially where the river flows
also recommends that people do not swim for several days after a typhoon, as many con-
taminants get washed into the sea from the land. During summer, the EPA makes regular
announcements about the water quality here and at other beaches.
