"It seems to be the smallest, quietest, and most beautiful beach among Yangyang beaches. The owners nearby are friendly, and you can reserve a beach deck to pitch a tent and camp."

"There are not many surfers today, perhaps because the waves are calm. However, there are quite a few people camping. The bathroom was clean and easy to use."
