Yeocha Beach is located in South Gyeongsang within Dapo, which makes it easily accessible and therefore popular among travelers. In the high season this may cause some discomfort, due to the large influx of tourists.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, within the boundaries of the settlement, it is not difficult to get to it. If your stay is located not far from the beach, you can reach it by walking. In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"In my opinion, the serene Mongdol Beach in Geoje is a hidden gem worth experiencing. Although it may not be bustling with crowds, the tranquil atmosphere is perfect for unwinding and appreciating the natural beauty. The beach may not be vast in size, but this only adds to its charm and allure. I am already looking forward to my next visit."

Jin Hee-sung

"Although located a distance away from the city center, the beach offers an awe-inspiring view that is definitely worth a visit. Our visit during the winter season meant that there were only a handful of people present, making for a serene and peaceful atmosphere."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Yeocha Beach (South Gyeongsang) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Yeocha Beach (South Gyeongsang) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Yeocha Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
