User reviews

"During the off-season, this beach is a serene haven that's perfect for families with young ones. The water is shallow, making it safe for children to splash around and play. Additionally, outdoor camping is an option for those who wish to pitch a tent beneath the shade of a nearby tree."

Jae Min Kim

"This particular beach is an excellent spot for soaking up the sun's rays. It's worth noting that parking can be a bit of a challenge as there isn't a designated parking area, so finding a spot can be a bit tricky. On the bright side, if you're looking to stay overnight, there's a lovely pine forest where you can set up camp without having to pay a dime."
